Htown Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Genuine Lotus hub adaptor, part #A082H6056H, and steering boss, part #A082H6056H These will allow you to ditch the airbag wheel, and install pretty much anything from Momo, Nardi, Sparco, OMP etc....

Craig Digging up this thread to ask Craig: 1) What do each of those two parts do, exactly? 2) Once installed, what do they adapt to? That is, is the hub the same size aftermarket wheels are built to, or would I then have to buy an additional adapter specific to each manufacturer? I have the wheel bug...

Gold FFM Mysterae Posted August 23, 2006 Gold FFM Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 I'd love a new steering wheel as well. I was thinking of buying a momo undrilled wheel and taking it to a machine shop to be drilled as per the origninal. Quote Signature not working...

Htown Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) quick pic of the wheel parts... Please disregard the lack of hardware, I had to dissasemble most of it to get the cover off... The hub adapter is splined, and sits on the upper column splines. Held in place by the large nyloc. This piece changed the overall mount style from a splined wheel an nut to one that is held on by multiple nuts. The steering boss is the collapsible piece that converts the bolt pattern on the Lotus hub adapter to the universal pattern used on most racing wheels. The steering wheel could actually be just bolted directly to the steering boss, without the omp spacer in the picture. The billet spacer has the same bolt pattern on both ends. I just felt the wheel was too far away when mounted just to the boss. The spacers come in different lengths, and some are adjustable. Or, this is where you could mount certain styles of quick release mechanisms. Edited August 24, 2006 by Htown Quote "Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself.

karmavore Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Very, very, helpful. Thanks Craig. I guess I didn't (and still don't) understand why the hub adaper and boss aren't just one piece, but I'll get over it. One last question: remember what the price on those two Lotus pieces are?

Htown Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 One last question: remember what the price on those two Lotus pieces are? Errrr, it's been a while. I can look tonight.

karmavore Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Digging this up again.. Craig, The part numbers you gave were both the same. So I broke out the manual. Looks like there are a bunch of parts unique to the Momo wheel (and a few fasteners) so can you clairify? Seems to me like I'd need: 9, 11, 12, 13, 15 ... and it might not hurt to get the screws as well.

Htown Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 The only lotus pieces I bought were 12(which I think came with 11)and 13 in the diagram above, but since I wanted a particular wheel, I needed to bring it closer with the OMP spacer. Jeff at JAE new exactly what to send as soon as I mentioned it. 9 looks like it would be specific to the dish on the Lotus/Momo wheel. Give em a call, they had the stuff in stock when I ordered mine.

Lucas, So I guess my price of $195 shipped for the Raid adapter kit isn't a bad price after all. (if someone wants an airbag wheel) Maybe I should call Frank and tell him hmmmm, maybe I need to see what it would take to modify my adapter for a Momo wheel.....
