Looking to buy a Momo Prototipo steering wheel, but i can seem to find a boss to fit to my 914. I know they are available. Anyone have a part number or suggestion

I got my hub and Prototipo from a local Carnoisseur Outlet. They don't keep them in stock but ordered them both for me. Arrived in a couple of days and both were the cheapest prices I'd seen them.
Check to see if there's a store near you or give them a call. Number on their website.

You'll be after hub 8002 for your 914

I have new Porsche-crested Momo horn buttons available.

I went for the black spokes in the end after seeing one on Gilbert '71 T's 911. Really looks stunning.
I got my Porsche horn button from Ebay US for a really good price but after a quick look it appears the seller is no longer registered.

Cheers Stephen, I think they look better with a little age on them too
Glad you're enjoying yours

Thanks guys, I will be placing my order over next couple of days.
Finally, how do I remove original wheel?

Turn the horn button anti-clockwise... The rest is simple. Oh make sure everthing is lined up or you'll have to do it again!
Might be an idea to disconnect the battery. It saves the horn going off and frightening the bejesus out of yourself. Not that that's what I did.... much

I think you'll need a 26mm socket + an extension bar to undo the steering nut.

An old but valuable tip :
Make you sure you leave the nut on by a few threads while you free the wheel from the boss.
Remove the nut altogether before "unstucking" the wheel from the boss and you risk hitting yourself in the mush with it when it finally comes free !

I did exactly that when I put a mountney wheel into my 71 bug in the early 90s. Chipped one of my front teeth.
Update: Found my old mountney steering wheel and boss from that old bug (in as new condition) not bad for a cheap 15 year old steering wheel.

spent most of today calling local car styling dealers trying to get hold of a momo boss 8002.
They are like rocking horse poop.
Tried the web and finally found

I will be in touch with Lightweight_911 for a horn push as soon as I can find my cheque book
Get car back from bodyshop on Monday (hope they did a good Job). Then its on with The Porsche side scripts ordered from DDK as soon as they arrive
Thanks for the help guys
