ScottG · 2nd April 2004, 01:21 PM

i want to if you can see them clearly.

chur

and also what do you guys do with the horn? disconnect it? have a button on the dash?

The new wheel should have a horn button on it. Just make sure you get the right boss kit for your car and you shouldnt have any problems

ScottG · 2nd April 2004, 01:55 PM

all the wheels ive seen dont have them, unless they are on the back

ScottG · 2nd April 2004, 02:35 PM

maybe a pic?

assuming its something like a sportline or a momo etc, they all have a centre hold for the horn. The button usually comes with the boss kit. All it is then is fitting the kit, connecting the spade connector to the horn button and pushing the button into place

when i had a sportline steering wheel on my da6 i could not see the rev counter or speed counter numbers correctly up the top of the gauges.

HTH..

so you know, getting the horn to work is a lot harder than just "plugging it in" you'd think that would work but for the love of god why does it not work!?!?!? why?!?!?!

i had a lil 11" steering wheel and it was still easy to see the gauges

Agreed, I told you Freestylin-hamster how to get your horn working.. I either have to bob my head or check the rsm can't read it if wearing sunglass's.

ScottG · 2nd April 2004, 06:15 PM

well thats gay, i want a steering wheel and be able to see my speedo

have you guys tried moving the steering wheel up and down

turbozxi · 2nd April 2004, 06:45 PM

Yep if you have it as high as it can go you can read them perfectly, its real had to drive though

.. I am looking for a slightly bigger suede wheel..

I just got a momo wheel and I can see the gauges easily, the horn button is in the midlle you just need to wire it up. My wheel came with a horn button and so did the boss kit.

most likely the coil from the horn is not touching the inside of the bosskit. It needs to do this to complete the circuit. I got around this buy drilling a hole in the boss kit and having a screw and wire connected to the coil by a spade connector
