Setup: Installation of the OMP Steering Wheel Boss Kit is a mechanical task. It involves removing the original steering wheel and carefully fitting the boss kit to the vehicle's steering column splines. Ensure all bolts are securely tightened according to the manufacturer's torque specifications. For vehicles with factory-fitted airbags, extreme caution and adherence to specific safety protocols are mandatory. Disconnect the battery and allow sufficient time for any residual charge to dissipate before attempting any work around the airbag system. Always refer to the detailed instructions provided by OMP.

It is compatible with OMP steering wheels and other brands featuring a 6 x 70mm PCD bolt pattern. Verify your vehicle's compatibility and whether it has an airbag system before purchase.
Care: The boss kit is typically made from durable materials. Clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish. Regularly check that all fixings remain secure, especially after spirited driving.
