Title: Steering wheel hub/ring Post by: Bainesy on 14 November, 2018, 09:01:47 PM Hi everyone, my first post as I'm a new member, having just purchased a Series 3 Fulvia. It is fitted with a Ferrero steering wheel...but the aluminium ring is missing under the countersunk screw heads (see pics. top two show how it should be, bottom is mine). Does anyone know where I might be able to get hold of one? Thanks Keven

Can't help you with the part but I believe there's a lot of interchageability between other Italian makes like Momo and Nardi etc. I can't swear to which fits which but if you do a bit of Googling on hole centres (PCD?) you may be able to pick a ring up from a different maker.

The type that has a deeper cylindrical head with the recessed hex. They would sit flat against the wheel and alloy ones would look good.

A cheaper way is to use stainless steel Allen cap button head screws. They have a domed head. Don`t use aluminium screws they aren`t strong enough.
