Just bought a new 'RPM' steering wheel to replace my slippery Luisi wheel, however the boss doesn't match up. New wheel is 330mm with 90mm dish, internal ring is 55mm, space between screws is 35mm, 6 screws in total. Have been told I might need to order one to be made from autotechnica.
What are my options?
Thanks.

Steering wheels are normally sized by the Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD), which is the measurement between opposite holes. Do you know that measurement? I'm guessing 70mm

From what limited info I can find on Luisi wheels they seem to be 74mm pcd.

There are many 70mm mini boss kits on the net, SAAS, Autotecnica, etc

There are even some that have 70mm and 74mm so you can still use your old wheel.

Thanks for that. Will probably order a universal boss from minisport. Option of using both wheels is a great idea.
