1986 Coupe quattro steering wheel boss

sportquattro · 09-07-13, 08:50 PM

Hi all, I have recently bought a Audi 3 spoke steering wheel from later Audi 80 which has a different boss to my 1986 Coupe Quattro, does anyone know of a source of a suitable boss that will fit the PCD of the wheel and the splines of the Quattro.

Thanks in advance

Hi thanks for the reply, no the problem is not the splines they match fine but the boss on the 3 spoke Audi Wheel does not have the brass ring for the horn to work, so I need a replacement boss with the brass ring, the splines as is, and the correct PCD to attach to the steering wheel in place of the boss that it come from Audi with
