Momo Boss 8014

[nolan 0]

Hi,

 

Can anyone please confirm that a Momo Boss (8014) comes complete with slip ring assembly to enable the horn to work correctly :help:

 

For example please find photo of a boss (unknown make, image from ebay) with a slip ring assembly to make contact with the horn (+12v) copper swiper as fitted on the steering column:

 

I have recently purchased a second-hand Momo Runner Steering Wheel 8) which came complete with boss supposedly for a Corrado VR6 :?

 

Although the spline is ok there is no way to connect the horn up correctly :roll:

 

Is this a common problem :?:

 

Many Thanks

 

Nolan

I forgot to add the photo of the momo runner with boss (as supplied) fitted. As can be seen no copper slip ring assembly :(

Hi I fitted a Momo yesterday. It was not new. I swapped it fr a pint. It came of a derilict builders escort van. Used my old Boss to fit it.

 

The horn button had a 1 spade connector and a weird brass curved ?? bit . Also came with two tin discs. Are these slip rings? using 1 was handy to actually mount the horn button. What are they actually for. :oops: Feel a bit huh sayin it.

 

I mounted the horn wires by just passing a bare cable through a small hole it seemed to be griped by the curved rod. Works well though.

The horn works by making the steering column (ground) in contact with the +12v supply (via the copper spring strip fitted on the steering column).

 

I have looked up the standard vr6 steering wheel in ETKA (Please see attached .pdf file)

 

Item 2 (Part Number 1H0 419 660) is a return ring (indicator cancel) with slip ring (for +12v to horn).

 

Do you have to remove this part from the vw steering wheel and fit within the momo boss :oops:

 

If I order a brand new momo boss (8014) does it come complete with the slip ring and indicator cancel :?:

 

Any advice gratefully received 8)

Your setup looks no different to mine.

 

I just past the horn wire up through the boss and attached the spade to the horn. Then drilled my boss fitted a self tapper and ring connector to a length of wire n Bobs yr uncle.

Although not a Corrado same idea as me n others I guess

Make sure you use a bit of lube on the ring.
