rysmee 0 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 hi, i have just gone to fit my new steering wheel with a mountney boss but the boss appears to be too small... On the steering column there is a shim of some sort (that has the splines on it) but this shim itself appears to be splined on to the column. If this came off it looks like the boss would fit ok. Does anyone know if this comes off or does it sound like the wrong boss? I have tried removing it but it is obviously well on there.. or it is actually part of the column and i'm wasting my time! will try and get a pic on here as its not the easiest thing to expain! thanks for any help!

rysmee 0 Posted March 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 ok so the first pic shows the column with the centre spindle and then the part with the splines looks like it slides over the top. The next is the boss i have which is the same size as the centre of the column, so leads me to believe that the splined part of the column comes off to leave the smaller centre splines. this is so hard to explain!

VR6Will 0 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 you've got an early mk2 boss, but your right, the sleeve should come off the mk3 column and then you'll be able to fit the boss, but you'll need a spring and two washers (in place of that sleeve) off an early mk2 or you'll get a bit of play in column.Alternatively, get the right boss for the car.
