maybe you got the wrong boss kit, do you have the box for it still? or receipt, if so, what part no. is it? it sahould be like a 150 or something, but with the commodores, some had an a or a c after the number because they changed slightly. i cant remember the correct number off the top of my head though.

The Autotecnica boss kit for VN/VP is part number 510. I've seen a few on the VN that just never seem to fit correctly. Sometimes the horn wont work, the boss slips on the steering shaft and is constantly going out of alignment, rubbing on the column covers, ect. ect.
I've found the Momo one is heaps better. Whack it on, do up the nut, get a wheel alignment (if required) and you're off

I just sold mine the other week for $50!! ( I'm putting in a VR column and had to get a new VR boss )
The VR boss kit I just purchased cost me $100 from Roman Autotek in Sydney. If you shop around you might save about $10.

However, if you have an Autotecnica steering wheel you can't use the Momo boss kits. Different stud pattern!

My autotecnica boss did fit it just needed a little gentle persuasion.

Mine went straight on in about 5 minutes no dramas what so ever except for lining up the steering wheel so it was straight.

mine fitted fine, its hard to get the wheel straight first go but once you do its all good

Most steering wheels fit the autotechnica boss kit, unless you buy a momo one of course but why pay twice the price for a wheel that looks the same hehe

Looks can be deceiving!! I don't know how many times I've almost snapped an Autotecnica steering wheel. I don't think they're as sturdy.

what!
How the hell did you manage that lol, i can't imagine how you would snap a steering wheel.

Ever held onto your steering wheel for added support while going sideways at about 70kms, then having to get the wheel instantly to the opposite lock?

i have snapped every auto technica wheel i have had in drift crashes with gutters and **** but i guess it beats snapping your wrists hey
