FAQs
What is a steering wheel boss kit?
A steering wheel boss kit is an adapter that allows you to fit an aftermarket steering wheel to your vehicle's steering column. It ensures proper fitment, electrical connections (like horn), and often retains the original steering wheel position.
Will this boss kit fit my steering wheel?
This OMP boss kit features a 6 x 70mm PCD bolt pattern, which is compatible with most popular aftermarket steering wheels from brands like Momo, Sparco, and OMP itself.
How do I know if this boss kit fits my car?
This specific model is designed for certain vehicle applications. You must check the product's compatibility list or consult with the retailer to ensure it matches your exact car make, model, and year.
What are the safety considerations when installing on a car with an airbag?
Vehicles with airbags require extreme caution. You must disconnect the battery and follow the specific instructions for safely disabling and removing the airbag module before proceeding with the boss kit installation. Failure to do so can result in accidental airbag deployment, causing serious injury. Professional installation is highly recommended for airbag-equipped vehicles.
Does this kit change the steering wheel's distance from the driver?
No, this OMP boss kit is designed to retain the original steering wheel position, ensuring comfortable ergonomics and an unchanged driving experience in terms of distance.
What is PCD?
PCD stands for Pitch Circle Diameter. It refers to the diameter of the circle on which the bolt holes for the steering wheel are equally spaced. A 6 x 70mm PCD means there are 6 bolt holes spaced around a circle with a 70mm diameter.
Do I need to buy any extra parts for installation?
The kit is supplied with fitting screws. However, depending on your specific vehicle and aftermarket steering wheel, you might need additional wiring for the horn or a specific steering wheel hub adapter if your wheel is not directly compatible with the boss kit's PCD.
Troubleshooting
Steering wheel feels loose after installation
Ensure all bolts are tightened to the correct torque specification. Check that the boss kit is securely fitted to the steering column and that the steering wheel is properly seated and bolted to the boss kit.
Horn not working
Verify that the horn wiring is correctly connected to the new steering wheel and/or the horn button mechanism. Ensure any grounding points are properly established.
Difficulty aligning steering wheel straight
If the steering wheel is slightly off-center, it may require minor adjustments. In some cases, the steering wheel can be rotated one spline on the column if the boss kit allows. For significant misalignment, re-check the boss kit installation.
Airbag warning light remains on (if applicable)
This indicates a potential issue with the airbag system disconnection or reconnection. Crucially, consult a professional installer immediately. Improper handling of airbag systems can be dangerous.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The OMP Steering Wheel Boss Kit is supplied with fitting screws. Installation involves removing the original steering wheel and any associated components (like the airbag module, following manufacturer instructions precisely). The boss kit is then mounted to the steering column, followed by the attachment of the new steering wheel to the boss kit's PCD pattern. Always refer to the specific instructions provided with the boss kit and the aftermarket steering wheel.
Compatibility: This specific kit (OD0-1960-VW851) is designed for a range of vehicles. Always verify that this boss kit is compatible with your exact vehicle model and year before purchasing. It is compatible with steering wheels featuring a 6 x 70mm PCD bolt pattern.
Care: The boss kit itself requires minimal care. Keep the mounting surfaces clean. After installation, periodically check that all bolts securing the boss kit to the column and the steering wheel to the boss kit remain tight. Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals on the components.
