Default RS 3 or 4 spoke

whats rarer?, i alwady figures 3 spoke were but now ive got 4 and only 1 4 spoke

also do the horn connectors (circular thingie) come out of a normal steering wheel to fit to a rs boss? i have a mk3 item and either a mk3 or 4 centre so i wanted to be able to use either

i would give it a try but i havent got any standard rs wheels kicking about any more

dont want this to be a forsale thread guys just wondering if anybody had an idea of what was rarer


i will get pics tho, cant say they will be too cheap as i paid good money myself but im not after a profit, was thinking ebay but there seem to be quite a few on atm

just thinking both the bosses i have dont have the indicator canceling bit, escorts use that dont they?

i have 2 3 spokes with ruffage in the 12 to 3 oclock section and 1 4 spoke with a couple of slightly rough areas and my favorite 3 spoke has some craking but only slight, the rest looks excellent


any body know the part numbers of the bosses so i can work out what they are originally from?

I've got a 3 spoke RS wheel but all the others I've seen have been 4.

Wouldn't necessarily say the 3's are rarer though, just my experience.
