Momo steering wheel

Hi, is there any aftermarket steering wheel, momo or the like that do a 15" size. The standard momo 14" that I have in mine makes it impossible to see the whole dashboard

Thanks

Hi Steve,
I have the same issue sometimes as I guess I must vary my seating position occasionally and it means I can't see the revs below about 3000rpm (unless I lean to the right a bit) which doesn't matter too much as i generally judge where the revs are and the speedo is viewable until about 90 (which I will admit it's touched a couple of times) but again that really makes no odds as most of the time its trundling along at about 55 - 60 ish max.
It was most noticeable when I fitted the new wheel and I looked into a larger dia but I don't think I found a Momo out there but i've got used to it now and hadn't thought of it until seeing your post.
Momo's main importers Brown + Geeson are based near me in Wickford.
Give them a call on 01268 764411 as it may save searching and speak to Dan Brown as he's a good bloke and helpful when I was sorting min.

As far as I am aware Momo do not do a 15 inch steering wheel, However, Moto-Lita and Mountney do, try having a look on Demon Tweeks web site.

Also and this is from one of this sites sponsors OPIE oils do a range of 15inch steering wheels very reasonably priced… You would have to buy a boss to fit but there are plenty of those on eBay or alternatively OPIE Oils sell corresponding mountney boss kits

I know it isnt exactly what you asked but I have the startech and the dashboard vision is fine. However, I guess like all of these things, it will depend on your seating position,what type of chair, height etc. Adjustments: Startech Steering Wheel | MUD Interior LED lights | Wipac crystal headlights with osram nightbreaker bulbs | Alpine CDE195BT
To do list: Outside rear facing LED lighting | subwoofer and speakers

2004 Defender 90 Td5 XS CSW Zambezi Silver

Interesting thread/post, as I have been considering a 350mm Momo and hadn't thought that it may obscure the dash a little.

Has anyone out there fitted a Momo 350mm with an Optimill (slimline) boss? If so, what is it like to live with - both in terms of viewing the clocks and proximity to the column stalks.

Cheers,

Will

I have a 350mm Momo fitted and have no problem seeing the dials or a problem using the stalks.

It's fitted onto a FCX quick release boss which I think is smaller than the standard Land Rover boss.

I'm really pleased with the wheel which is a huge improvement on the standard one.

Thanks for sharing the info and photos Paul

Which Momo is that? It looks nice.

I guess the issue relating to visibility depends on a number of factors including driver height, seat position etc.

In terms of the boss, it does look slimmer than the std Momo.

I wouldn't mind seeing some photos from owners with a 350mm Momo with the Td5 dash
