aftermarket steering wheels?

Hi its pretty straight forward with the right boss kit.
just take off the old wheel, bolt on the boss kit, plug in the horn and hex-key the new wheel on
haynes manual says 25 ft-lbs for the steering wheel nut

my old one - indicator switch-off ring didnt match the holes


New one - indicator holes had to be milled out to make it fit, couldnt find one exactly right



wheel mounts to it like this


had my isotta wheel for 6 years and its still great and not wearing out, cost a bit but ive had so much use from it.

the car came with a cheap knock off, when i cut the foam off it, 2 of the 3 metal arms had rusted off the wheel! very glad i found that when i did!

 

Like trel162 said It's pretty easy to install :thumbsup:

I have a personal steering wheel and a momo steering wheel almost as long as I have the celica!

Personal:


Momo:

 

I've never had problem with turn signal being always on,but my friend with the corolla have that problem,It depends of the boss kit brand I think!
But yes its easy as pie :mrgreen

 

i took the wheel off at the shop and took the indicator-off ring inside to match it and the dude machined it then and there. at least take a measurement with ya to make things easier!

 

Beautiful picture. I love those long exposure shots.

So you have to modify the hub thingy even if it's a universal quick release?

 

yep i did that for years, i got used to it but to pass inspection i had to put the original steering wheel on so they auto turned off.

I swapped my steering column for one with a working lock last year and decided to get the right boss kit at the same time. i guess if youre going to do it at all, do it right n make it work properly. My new ones an AutoTechnica im pretty sure, dunno what kits you can find locally, i did what i could with what they had

hope you get it cranking

thai fighter - mines not quick release, dunno how they work, but there are many models to match your setup and the tiny bit of machining was free on mine.

 

Thanks man!!

In my case I didn't have to modify anything

 

-id personally only go MOMO. loads of options. been looking but i really dont like the look of the hub infront of the steering column plastics. i think ive decided that the factory leather wheel is actually pretty nice. much thicker than the non-leather, and a good diameter.

 

sorry could resist after reading the first three words ya wrote!

 

I have wanted a 1st generation Celica steering wheel on my car.  The later ones have four horn buttons on the sides.  I finally found a nice black one at the junkyard, but it has only two indicator cog pin holes.  I will have to do some drilling ..and see if the horn pin lines up with the metal wheel disc.

I really like the idea of hitting my Hella Supertone horns without my hands leaving the wheel.

 

Hahahahahahahaha.... oh f'k, where was I.......... oh yeah.......... I love my leather wheel........ with cruise :cool

 

Haha I forgot this thread even existed... lol

Anyways, I've been having trouble with my horn and turn signals. >_<

The wiring connection for the horn is constantly falling off on me, and this causes the turn signals to not turn off automatically. >_<
How do you guys get the wire to stay connected? What could I have done wrong?

Thanks.

 

electrical tape might be the trick
my spade connector is already really tight, maybe pliers it a bit but make sure you can get it out for next time
