It Lives Again

I'm thinking of buying a sporty steering wheel for my roadster off the bay
I'm using the original sierra column.Would any other makes of boss fit the sierra or are they all different?

Not a clue - although i'll appreciate it when someone who DOES know the answer comes along.

Just had to post to say that your car looks great in those pics. I'm just about to take the Sierra engine out so I can do a trial fit in my chassis - seeing pics like this keeps reminding me how good it's going to be when I get it finished!!

Thanks .I'm just tweakingATM(fiddling with unimportant bits) and considering how to get hold of 50 odd wife pounds for IVA .Probably next Spring now

I have a Momo Steering boss on mine, with a OMP wheel. Just need to make sure it has the little notch in it for the indicator cancelling. (unless you're not using the sierra indicators on the steering column)

Momo, OMP, Sparco, and a lot of others have the same bolt pattern. Some hubs even come with 2 different patterns and fit most of the wheels on the market. So choose your steering wheel first, and check the bolt pattern (which brand it is, or with the seller), but I'm 99% sure it will be this Momo/OMP pattern. Then you can find the hub. Rally Design has a full range of collapsible OMP hubs, most of them with the blinker return (check it, that can be important, I had one without it on my Renault 4, and it is very annoying!)
The only problem is if you choose a large "retro look" steering wheels: the central part is huge, and will not fit the sport's steering wheel hubs.
You can also post the link to the steering wheel you want to buy, and I'll check, if i can, which hub will fit.
Hope this will help

In regard to the circlip just buy a multi pack from b&q and there should be one in there that fits,should only cost couple of quid.
Most aftermarket companies do a steering wheel boss still to fit the sierra.Usually a few on what.

Should say Ebay not what! Bloody phone.

Thanks for the help all.

I'm also wondering if bosses for other makes of vehicle will fit my shaft.

I was looking at these but not sure how they get on with the iva/sva thing. Adds a bit more security and helps to squeeze in and out.

You might have a chance with other Ford models, but normally, steering wheel hubs are sold according to an application list where you have almost 1 part number per car model. I think the best thing to do is buying the hub for Ford Sierra, and no other, so you are sure it will fit.
