Aftermarket Steering Wheel Boss
Hi All, can anyone categorically state differences in steering column over 200 series production. I've bought a nice new 380mm OMP steering wheel for my sons '75 244 (non power steering) and when searching for a suitable wheel boss I keep getting the following fitment when I'm using my car details:
'' Volvo 240 (All years) Volvo 242, 244, 245 (From 1982 onwards) '' What might be the difference then between the 240 all years and the 242,44,45 post 82 ?? Need to get this right as it's a Birthday present together with a Prancing Moose horn push I've ordered with Dave Barton. Anyone know the specific model number of OMP or MOMO boss for a non P.S '75 244 ??? |

Hello.
Looking at that info, I just wonder if there was a difference before 1982. All I can tell you is. My 1992 240 came to me with power steering and with the usual later models type steering wheel. When I fitted the sightly older larger steering wheel, one with two rectangular horn buttons, it was a simple swap. One deep socket. There are thread(s) talking about for example being careful not to accidentally disconnect a wire. And be careful to maintain the spline alignment so for example the indicators still self cancel correctly. Good luck and enjoy. . Last edited by Stephen Edwin; Oct 8th, 2020 at 19:36. |

The shape is not exactly the same between early and late dash. The splines are the same but the cowling around the steering wheel is not the same.
I stock both types |

The issue Jon seems to be how the third party boss is alongside the cowling of the 1975 car. Is there any helpful feedback on any sales web pages? Jon. Best wishes whatever you do. . |

Jon. I do not know if classicswede is selling two types of dashboard cowling, or two tpes of steering wheel, or two types of boss to suit the steering wheel you have bought. I suspect your son might not want to change the dashboard cowling and I do not know if that would have consequences re column mounted switches for example. I think you are actually looking for the best boss for your son's car. Overall it sounds to me that the seller(s) of bosses are offering two types. They could be using the expressions 244 and 240 er, loosely. Have you asked them to be more specific and asked them about your son's year of car? Sorry to say this but. Really. The advertisers seem to be pick and mixing their descriptions. Stephen . |
