Just bought a Corsa GSi (should have an airbag) and it had had a non airbag wheel fitted and the cowling had been removed as it would no longer fit. The horn worked fine as did the indicator cancel.

Decided I need the cowling fitted and decided to use the Momo wheel and boss off my Nova. It fits on the splines but once it is bolted right up it can still be pushed in on the spring and I have no horn or indicator cancel as the steering wheel won't go on far enough?

What boss kit will I need and where from to fit the Momo and how come the non airbag Corsa wheel worked fine yet the Nova one won't?

Cheers

The difference between the non-airbag and airbag bosses is the fact that it makes the airbag light function correctly. All I did was get a Momo non-airbag boss and removed the airbag shite and the airbag ligh bulb. I would buy a proper momo boss as the fit is far better than the cheaper ones. There should be some on ebay, I got mine from Demon Tweeks I think it was around 40 quid.
Hope that helps.

Do you not then have to change the plastic cowlings as well? My car doesn't have the airbag stuff either, someone must have removed it.

With the Nova boss the steering wheel won't go on far enough.

I didn't have to remove the cowling, everything fitted back as it should. The only thing I can think with your nova boss is that the place were the nut sits is too far away.
