FAQs
What is the main advantage of using this boss kit?
The primary advantage is enabling the fitment of a wide range of aftermarket steering wheels to your car's original steering column, allowing for personalization and improved ergonomics or aesthetics.
Is this boss kit compatible with my car's original steering wheel?
No, this boss kit is specifically designed to allow aftermarket steering wheels to be fitted. It is not designed for use with the original factory steering wheel.
What does PCD mean in relation to steering wheels?
PCD stands for Pitch Circle Diameter. It refers to the diameter of the circle on which the bolt holes for mounting the steering wheel are arranged. This boss kit supports 6 x 70mm and 6 x 74mm PCD patterns.
Do I need to consider the airbag when installing this boss kit?
Yes, if your vehicle is equipped with an airbag, you must follow the boss manufacturer's instructions very carefully. The kit includes airbag resistors where applicable, but incorrect handling of airbag systems can be dangerous. Professional advice is recommended if you are unsure.
Can I use this boss kit with a collapsible steering column?
This specific model, BG8143, is a 'Non Collapsible' hub kit. B-G Racing also offers collapsible versions for applications where that is required.
What brands of steering wheels are compatible with this boss kit?
It is compatible with most aftermarket steering wheels featuring a 6 x 70mm or 6 x 74mm PCD bolt pattern, including popular brands like Momo, Sparco, OMP, Nardi, and others.
How do I clean the steering wheel boss kit?
The cast aluminum can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
Troubleshooting
Steering wheel wobbles or feels loose after installation
Ensure all screws, both for mounting the boss kit to the column and attaching the steering wheel to the boss, are fully tightened according to specifications. Re-check the steering column splines for proper engagement.
Horn not working
Verify that the horn button retaining ring is correctly installed and making contact. If an airbag resistor was used, ensure it is properly connected as per instructions. Check wiring connections to the horn button.
Steering wheel does not align straight
Confirm that the boss kit is correctly seated on the steering column splines. Some steering wheels can be clocked slightly off-center; adjust the wheel's position on the boss if possible, or consider the steering wheel's offset.
Airbag warning light remains illuminated
Ensure the airbag resistors (if applicable and supplied) are correctly installed and connected. If the light persists, it may indicate a fault in the airbag system itself or incorrect installation of resistors; professional diagnosis is recommended.
