You'll need a new boss for the 4 spoke rs wheel. On the standard steering wheel the boss is integrated and cannot be separated.

Cheers

Default four spoke wheel

the four spoke wheel is from the 90spec rs turbo n should come with boss complete. the series one came with a three spoke wheel of the same desighn and the sierra didnt have the wheel fitted as its an rs item, the sierra rs is also known as the cosworth or saph cosworth and these came with a full leather item with three spokes. if uve got the wheel but no boss then any r.s.t fitting boss will do as the bolt patern is of a global design and the r.s.t boss will take a momo or sparco wheel too as the paterns are all the same.

Hi mate, i recently fitted a 4 spoke RS steering wheel to my car.

The number on the rear of the wheel is H78AB3600AA.

The number on the boss lower front edge is 5012678.

Easy to fit, just got to connect up the horn contacts to the new boss.

Have just fitted my 4 spoke, looks the nuts
Only trouble is there's no self cancelling of the indicators as the boss dosn't have the lobe as the standard wheel

Is there a boss which has this lobe?
Or is everyone in the same boat?

Any help appreciated
Cheers
