    In your opinion, do you think the 110mm diameter is sort of standardized on older the Ferraris and the only real difference is length? As in… these could possibly work on my 355??

    Good chance the shorter one is for an F50.

    Well, thats what i was hoping to get figured out here as i myself cant tell for sure.
    I just had a quick look online and it seems the hub C3905 has the same mounting pattern on the bottom like the ones i have here.
    I have no clue about the interchangablility of steering hubs between the different ferrari models but it and F40 wheel/hub fits a 355, than that one will most likely fit your 355.

    #3905 is specifically for an F40 and measures 100mm tall. Close to the one you have at 95mm. Yours is probably specifically for another car, although it will probably work on a F40.

    Ken,

    You are the one true repository for Ferrari parts and most likely your records are more exhaustive than the official Ferrari Parts Manuals. :)

    I'm lucky to have an F355 Challenge where the Regulation Manual permits certain modifications which might differ from car to car. So when my car was being set up for me, I had this 1 centimeter spacer fabricated to mount my steering wheel with its quick-release hub...

    When Peter Sachs offered to autograph my car, I asked him to autograph the original momo wheel...

    I replaced that wheel with this momo Competition wheel...

    It's all original and permissible driver's-choice gear. :)

    I'm working on another airbag wheel option - I've always liked the 550 wheel better than the 355/456 wheel and it turns out the '02-'07 Maserati's use what appears to be the same wheel, but around 1/3 the cost. I have one coming and if it looks good will order a 550 airbag (ouch) to complete it.

    The momo 3 spoke was indeed shared between the 550, 456M, and several other cars including Maserati and even some Hondas. However I am not sure if the rear spline matches between maseratis and Ferraris.

    I would first confirm that before buying an airbag. Also the airbag is likely cheaper from a 456M

    Yep - that's why I bought just the wheel. It was cheap enough to not be a big deal if it doesn't work. However, it's just got the 4 bolts that attach to the existing hub, though, no splines. This is like the one I bought: https://www.ebay.com/itm/116002932379?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=8V3HiRzzQ4W&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=WKO0AFnNS7S&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    As long as you have your OEM steering wheel you can swap the rear spine mount without much issue. I am pretty sure they match as both were from momo originally.

    PS consider restoring if so inclined.... I had a spare 575 steering wheel refinished and still am happy with the result: https://ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/steering-wheel-refresh.660172/

    That looks really nice, I'll see if I can procure an airbag and then may do just that.

    Thanks for the info Ken. I must add, while most of this could be accurate, it's highly unlikely for a hub to fit different models over such a long timespan. In this case, i'm 99% sure at least the 365 (1966-1970) will need a different hub.

    You have a picture of the 550 wheel installed?

    I found a picture of a 550 wheel but in beige, don't know, it looks a bit clumsy and big for the interior.
