Hi Just wondered if anyone's got any info on a replacement steering wheel for my 355 spider? Its got the stock airbag one but I fancy changing it for something a bit more 'sporty'. I was thinking of getting the Momo millenium wheel or failing that does the 360 wheel fit on it? Be great to have a wheel like the new F430 with a starter button on it. Has anyone fitted there own starter button? So any ideas would be appreciated with hopefully some photos... Cheers Simon
What you need is a hub adaptor. 355 Challenge cars used this, as the stock hub is has four holes, and aftermarket wheels have 6 (e.g., Momo). The adaptor also increases the distance from the console, as the airbag wheel is very thick - most adaptors I've seen are 4+ inches tall. These adaptors are NOT, AFAIK, factory Ferrari parts. The Challenge manual gives dimensions for you to go out and get one machined. I bought one from my mechanic, who had a half-dozen or so made (I think he's got one left, ~$400, but don't hold me to that). Once you have that, you can bolt on any Momo-pattern wheel you'd like. You'll also need to rewire the horn button (easy), and turn off the airbag light (slightly more difficult, but not tough). I wrote up a complete DIY on how to do this, along with pics, in the archives somewhere.... vty, --Dennis
Cheers Dennis I checked with a company that supplies Momo wheels and you can buy a Momo boss for the airbag F355 steering wheel...or so they say? I couldn't find your article in the archives... Simon
I have got a F50 steering wheel on my 355. I had a special adaptor made coz I wanted the steering closer to me i.e. long legs short arms...hahaha
