355 Just acquired my new to me F355 GTS

Too late now but did you see this one? Seems what you wanted less the carbon seats. Congratulations none the less.

A 348 Momo challenge steering wheel re-trimmed in black leather is just a 348 steering wheel no? If you have a 348 Challenge steering wheel (suede) I’d just sell it to someone who might be looking for one as they are quite hard to find.

348 steering wheels are easier to find and all leather for your needs.

 

Got a pic of what you are referring to?

 

Congratulations! Not sure of your F355 experience but seeing you have a 458 - I had an F355 Spider and 458 Coupe at the same time a few years back - the 355 is way lower than the 458 and so the nose WILL scrape underneath if you drive it around. It's going to rub the paint off. I scraped mine twice good in the first few hours after delivery.

My advice is to accept that you're going to drive the car and repaint the lower part of the spoiler every 18-24 months. I had mine 4 years and 17k miles, and it was redone before I got it (poorly, apparently, as my body shop guy showed me the shabby fiberglass work underneath), so I spent more on the first repaint after about 2 years (~$2500), then a touchup ($800 or so?) when I first listed it for sale (first guy who test drove scraped it immediately), and then one more time before it sold a year later.

That said, totally worth it. Did some great 1500 mile road trips with it. Always a hit. Only warnings from cops.

 

A 348 challenge wheel and a “355 challenge wheel” should be the same. It’s a bit of a misnomer because there shouldn’t be a designated 355 challenge steering wheel. However, the 348 Challenge steering was often used on 355 challenge cars so the association is there. I am using a 348/355 challenge steering wheel in my car.

Without the suede outer covering and “Momo” logo on the center cover, it is essentially a 348 steering wheel (all leather.) Unless there is another 355 Challenge wheel I don’t know about.


The 348/355 Challenge steering wheel is sort of an unobtanium part and desired for its suede outer covering. So to actually find one and re-cover it in leather is counter productive . It’s easier to simply buy a 348 steering wheel and at least the leather type will be proper and period correct.

WOW Simon looks great this car, look forward when you get the seats installed

 

Hey Simon,

I was eyeing the enzo 4 point harness as well, but could not get a clear answer from any seller. Are the shoulder straps even or is one longer than the other as shown?

 

Good to know! Now I know why the seller in Germany ghosted me lol. Was the price you paid for a pair?


I was looking into a custom harness bar project that hooked up to the stock belt locations while completely removing the stock belts.


Just keep in mind the challenge mounts do need to be welded to the firewall.

 

Yes. Ebay listing. He just never confirmed with me if it was for a pair or not. Probably because he already sold it to you. I inquired late May. Price is more than fair.

 

Ken, in 1995 Challenge kits included this omp suede-covered steering wheel...

So you received them already?

 

Right, Ken.

A custom harness bar might be a good alternative.

 

Perhaps he was confused about what I was asking. There is another source for these harnesses, so no worries. Just want to make sure the shoulder belt lengths are symmetrical.

In every photo I’ve seen of these Enzo harnesses outside of the car, it just seems one harness is made or adjusted longer than the other (not symmetrical.) Not sure if this is an Enzo specific thing or what and if it can be adjusted to look symmetrical.
