Hi all
I've recieved the steering parts from Tornado for my car which I am sending up to Gelscoe so I can hopefully have one of thier lovely steering wheels and early style bosses.
Looking at the parts I can see there being a couple of issues with the Tornado supplied boss that might hinder Gelscoe and I wondered if you guys could help advise.
1) The top of the removable part of the boss has a 3 hole pattern to connect to the steering wheel. The Gelscoe wheel should share a similar pattern to moto lita which is 6 holes. Rather than using an adapter plate is there another removable boss that you can buy off the shelf to fit a 6 hole pattern moto lita?
2) My current removable boss adapter will be drill and roll pinned to the steering column and is a hexagonal shape. I can tell from twisting it in my hands that there is slight play between the adapter and the boss so should I look at getting another removable boss that has is splined to reduce the play?
At this point I am unsure of the PCD of the gelscoe wheel so it's difficult to guess what will work but the main question I have is should I replace the current hexagonal style 3 hole boss with a splined 6 hole boss once I know the correct PCD?
Also when fitting a removable wheel to the car will I have to change it for the IVA test or is there an easy way of adapting the wheel for the test?
Any help or suggestions of manufacturers that can provide a suitable removable boss
Thanks
