Also, i have noticed on slight left and right turns the turn signal doesn't kick off. Is this common?

Prototipo
Have finally installed the Prototipo ('86 911). Liking it a lot - smaller diameter feels, and IMHO looks, great. Yes views of parts of the gauges are blocked, but it is just a different part blocked than with the stock wheel - slight tilt of the head to see the info I need to see, no big deal.

I ordered the Prototipo and hub adapter from Jason @ Warehouse33, no affiliation, but my experience with them was great - Jason responded quickly, prices were great plus 10% discount for Rennlisters. Got a few other odds and ends with that order as well.

I also installed the JWest Engineering Steering Eccentric Adapter (ordered direct from JWest) - offsets the wheel 12mm up and 16mm rearward - closer to driver. The 12mm upward is (apparently) the same offset as the stock wheel in the vertical plane. As a tall (6'4") person, my seat is all the way back and with the stock wheel, my arms were almost straight out. While only 16mm closer, I find it makes a big difference and my arms are in a much more comfortable position. YMMV.


That was from flexbert....pic of his wheel below

Here is flexbert's with the eccentric adaptor

You have a linen dash? I have a linen interior as well, but my dash is all black. My Recaro PPs have the light grey inserts, and this grey dash would look amazing with them.

Hi,

That's a huge improvement, it looks very business-like. A leather horn push will finish the job nicely

The only part of the speedo I can't see at eye level is when I'm well over road limits and at those speeds a tacho is more important



Cheers,

Paul,

I just went out and sat in mine. My wheel cuts pretty much right in the middle of the speedo. I think i am going to break down and get the eccentric adapter. I want to see what is in your picture. From where i sit, mine is more obstructed .

Streetdaddy

Just ordered the eccentric adaptor. Don't like to solution of rotating dials ccw. Looks weird to me. Will do before/afters.

I've just checked to see what the camera angle was as I didn't think I could see the 100 mph mark. The wheel rim actually obscures the speedo for me at 90mph.

Again, it's largely immaterial at that highway speed.

Cheers,
Paul

It looks good. I like. The only gauge i've rotated is the rev counter. 90 degrees to the left. The old racers used to do it. Its a bit of a posers embellishment but I like it

No, i've got a black dash, headlining and parcel tray cover. Everything else is linen. I've been to see a trimmer to come up with options to go all black. Boring I know and my wife loves the linen. One of the ideas is to use pre fabricated covers from Southbound or Lakewell. I would hope that the quality from them would minimise the need for much re-work by my trimmer to fit.

Unless you are 3 feet tall (UK do the metric translation) you will not get a view of the gauges as in the picture. That photo is well below head level. If 90-100 is obscured, when blue lights are flashing in your rear view mirror that is your indication that you are in the obscured zone. Lol

The prototipo wheel and the classic porsche gauges is what a car should look like. Pure beauty. This is what the modern Porsche lacks.
