Steering wheel hub/ring

[Bainesy]

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

I have an identical Ferrero fitted to mine. 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.

......alternatively you could replace the countersunk bolts with cap bolts (might be the wrong description). 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.

Either get a machine shop to make one, easy for a skilled machinist. 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.

You're right. I shouldn't have said 'alloy'.  I just had an image of a silver screw in my head.

Thanks for the ideas...much appreciated.
