Steering wheel adaptor query
« on: August 26, 2020, 10:47:44 PM »
I've got a replacement steering wheel for my car, but it needs a hub.

I need to know whether the spline at the top of the column is the same as *which car?* or
what I should be looking for.
Beta's generally not listed as options in lists!

Thanks

Morning Nige
Try Ricambio https://www.ricambio.co.uk. They supplied my adapter and list it for the Beta.

Thanks Chris.
The beta version shows out of stock but i'll
call him next week to ask if any other will fit.
He has a huge range!

My understanding is that there are two different splines used on the Beta. The later ones (Probably Series 3) is shared with late Gammas and Deltas to ~1984. I don't know about earlier cars.

for example (out of stock):

So many cars, so little time.

Omicron usually have some. But not cheap of course.

Thanks all.
I'm going to take the steering wheel off and compare the spline with
another column i've got. I know the spare column is before 82 so
I should see the difference,if any.

Interesting, there's no difference between a pre 82 and 84 splines.
And I really think the spare column is older than that.

The wheel only fits in one position, normal.
