will a RS1600 steering wheel fit on a s2 escort?, or will i have to change to a different boss?
cheers mark.

 

I know they look good as m8 had one on his car but was allready on there when he got it so not sure on the boss

have a BTTT anyway someone wil know

 

cheers greg, bttt

 

bump

 

you will need a mk4 boss, the mk3 boss off the 16i will not fit, and you will also need to change the centre to a horn push, instead of the solid RS rubber, as the mk3 has the horn on the indicator stalk and the mk4 has it in the middle of the wheel

 

know anyone with a mk4 boss then? maybe that i could swap for a mk3

i know about the horn ive got ways of getting round that
cheers mark.

 

IIRC the MK 1 and 2 steering columns have splines where the Mk 3and 4 have a hexagon...

So that means the RS1600 steering wheel won't fit.....

 

got the rs1600 boss in front of me and its got a hexagon mate.

 

Like I said, I thought the Mk 1 and 2 Escorts where splined and not hexagon but I might be wrong.

Why do you want to put an RS1600 wheel on a Mk4 anyway? Totally wrong for the era of the car really...

The only pictures I could find are here....

unless its a mk3 s1 boss?
i want to put one on because they look lovely and not many people have done them . car wont be standard anyways so it doesnt matter as long as it looks great.

 

Are you really on about the RS1600 or do you mean the RS1600i?

 

rs1600i mate, not the original one,the later one, thought it was a bit odd you posting that link mate.

 

I did wonder why you wanted to fit an RS1600 wheel to a much later car! That's why I commented on the Mk 1 and 2 bosses.

I have seen an RST S1 wheel on a Mk 4 before so I think the Mk wheel will fit on the Mk 4, the problem is, you won't have a horn push unless you get the Mk 4 boss....

 

u need a mk4 rs backboss which will cancel the indicators when u straighten the wheel and u will need the centre push horn

heres a backboss
