Need help with MOMO steering wheel RESOLVED!
I was lucky to purchase this awesome steering wheel however, just need a little guidance on the installation
Anyone put this on before? Seems pretty straight forward, I just seem to not be able to complete it. The horn can scare the crap out of you when it connects unexpectedly

Re: Need help with MOMO steering wheel
I assume the difficulty you are having is figuring out what that second connection is for.
The horn button is just a simple normally open switch. The one wire coming out of the center powers the relay that powers the horn. Touch it to ground and the horns goes off. You can try your original horn button, or you can try either of the two leads on your new button (one, or either of them is the right one) . You cannot hurt anything.

Re: Need help with MOMO steering wheel
Thanks, but I am good with the connection part. The issues are 1) cannot fit the thin ring onto existing hub 2) old horn does not fit with new steering wheel 3) without the thin ring new horn just moves around making contact or sticking down and blasting the horn.
I will try again tomorrow, I am determined to make it work

Re: Need help with MOMO steering wheel
I replied to the other thread - don't use the horn button that came with the wheel. Use the original. That's what I did when I put a MOMO wheel in my '80.

Re: Need help with MOMO steering wheel
With the original horn button the Momo steering wheel does not fit properly
I did notice that when looking at both old and new buttons the old one the tab is sideways and the new is not. I will try again this week/end

Re: Need help with MOMO steering wheel
Hmmm - Momo must have different designs for different wheels. Mine worked just fine.

Determined to get this beautiful new (to me) steering wheel on with a functioning horn I sat down and got at it
First got all my stuff
Bye bye original steering wheel
Pulled the horn
Tapped up the connectors
Still had the horn getting stuck when pressed Took it out and lightly sanded the plastic and then it fit smooth and allowed the horn to depress and rise with zero issues

Thanks to all
