    Default Fitting a Steering Wheel

    hey guys, i got a cheap boss kit of ebay for my RT142 that used to be attached to a ST141 and then i recently got a steering wheel off ebay. my problem is that the boss kit and steering wheel are completely different. What sort of boss kit am i looking for to fit this wheel? is the one i have the right one but im missing some sort of adaptor plate?

    nahh no adapter plate looks like they sent u the wrong wheel or the wrong boss

    if the boss fits on the splines then they sent u the wrong wheel cause the wheel bolt holes should just line straight up with the boss and u screw it on with those alan key bolts

    Hi DBoy,

    I'm afraid you have mismatched bits!

    The Boss is Formuling brand. I don't think you can buy Formuling wheels new anymore.

    The wheel you have is SAAS or Autotechnica. You need a SAAS/Autotechnica boss to fit it.

    Cheers,
