Yes, for this 60mm spacer, you can fit a 6 x 70mm PCD steering wheel to a 6 x 74mm PCD boss kit, and vice versa, due to its multi-drilled design.
What is included in the package?
The package includes the 60mm steering wheel boss spacer, installation bolts, and a wrench for installation.
Is this spacer compatible with airbags?
This product is a spacer for the steering wheel boss and does not directly interact with or support the vehicle's airbag system. If your vehicle has an airbag steering wheel, ensure that any airbag components are safely managed and that the final installation complies with all safety regulations and practices. Professional installation may be recommended.
How do I clean the steering wheel boss spacer?
Clean the spacer with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the billet alloy finish.
What is the main difference between the 60mm spacer and shorter versions regarding compatibility?
While the 60mm version offers flexibility in mixing PCD patterns (70mm to 74mm and vice versa), the 10mm and 20mm versions require the steering wheel PCD and boss kit PCD to match exactly.
Troubleshooting
Spacer does not align with boss kit holes
Verify the PCD pattern of your existing boss kit. Ensure it matches one of the compatible patterns (6x70mm or 6x74mm) for this 60mm spacer. Check for any debris obstructing the bolt holes.
Bolts do not thread properly
Ensure you are using the correct bolts provided and that they are aligned straight with the threaded holes. Do not force bolts; if resistance is met, back them out and try again.
Steering wheel feels loose after installation
Double-check that all bolts securing the spacer to the boss kit and the steering wheel to the spacer are fully tightened according to manufacturer specifications for steering components.
Horn or other steering wheel functions do not work
This is typically related to the steering wheel's wiring. Ensure all connections for the horn, airbag (if applicable and safely handled), and other controls are correctly made within the steering wheel hub assembly.
