autotechnica boss kits

[slayer]

hey all has anyone had probs putting on autotechnica boss kits on there vn

i have tried 2 on my wagon and they just wont fit the shaft is too small for the boss kit but the standard wheel fits on fine

[hakhawk]

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.

no i dout if they gave me 2 diff boss kits these kits are brand new also

im using a autotechnia boss kit on my VN sedan and didnt have any trouble getting it to fit. just trying to line up the steering wheel took me 2 goes

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!

[I LIKE COMMODORES]

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

[Lexx]

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.

[BR377]

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 shit but i guess it beats snapping your wrists hey :my:

Crazy lol, last time i was sideways at 120kp/h the car ended up a molten blob.
The gool 'ol days hehe

how come on there site it sais 0$ for boss kits, and they dont have any for VN;s listed

i just got a new wheel and need a boss kit, guy at wreckers wants 110$ screw that.

[GMVBSLE]

Autotechnica bosses are only about $80 NEW from Supercheap. I managed to get a s/h Autotechnica black leather wheel and boss in as new condition for $65 on eBay including postage.

I got a universal saas vn boss kit, cost me $70ish from supercheap auto & came with a fancy holden horn

Cheers

EDIT:

It can take saas/autotechnica wheels & i think momo, no idea really, it has tons of different holes on her :P lol

[Boonz]

you can also get boss/momo kits from repco that have universal fittings for boss, saas and momo steering wheels...they cost about $95
