No problems mate

The boss with the rubber bit - you need to get a two piece boss kit, I have one that I had bought years ago for fitting to a Range Rover P38, take the lower part off, the part that has the splined hole for fitting to the steering column. You are then left with a metal cage type part which acts two fold, spacer for the wheel so its not two close to the stalks and also a collapsable section in case of an accident, thats then covered with a rubber sleeve to make it look pretty

hope that helps mate

oo oo ooo! where from, have you got a linky to the boss?

whilst on my endless search a couple of years ago now, i found a few that should have fitted (carisma/evo etc) but looked like the horn wouldn't have worked and would have lost auto cancel of the indicators

its a mazda BOSS i think, i do think i will lose the indicator cut off but im not fussed cos as a habit i cancel them before the stalk does it anyway. i will have to rig the horn from the old wheel but my new Boss has the round metal plate which creates the circuit. once the wheel is here thursday i will hav a play and post all details when finished.
