    318is steering wheel adapter

    Other than having to supply a second spacer, is there any reason a momo hub adapter won't fit the '91 318is? Just want to be sure I'm not missing something before I order one.

    Nope, I just put a Mtech 1 wheel on my 318is about an hour ago and only needed that spacer. I wish it was a momo wheel...

      Which spacer is it that this needs? I have an M-Tech II wheel I want to put on my soon-to-be-non-bagged '91...

        OK even for a newbie thats one I havent heard....
        I'm not so sure a M-Tech II wil fit...
        I cant understand why on eart somebody would put a Air bagged wheel in a NON airbag car


        BTW: If YOURS is a 91' then it should be a air baged equip'd car ;) Which a M///2 wheel is fine

          Uh, yeah - my 1991, which has an airbag, is soon not going to have an airbag. Thus, "...my soon-to-be-non-bagged '91."

          Anyway, I was just curious if someone could point out the right spacer for this wheel to fit. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

            When you pull the stock wheel off, there is a spacer on the shaft directly behind the wheel. You need another of these to go on the shaft after the wheel. The shaft is a bit too long for a non airbag wheel if that makes sense. I actually went to the hardware store and got a bronze bushing that worked fine.

              is what I needed to know, thanks!

                What about the spring loaded plastic pin that's behind the airbag wheel? It's at about 11 o'clock position. Does this need to be removed?
