i believe the Mod7 is a suade wheel, not traditional leather.

3.2SLANT, have you been in a Porsche showroom lately? At our local dealer here every car in the showroom has a fuzzy wheel. Very strange.

I just installed a Momo wheel with Porsche horn button that has two tabs sticking out the back. The horn does not work when it plugs into either of the tabs. The horn works fine, in that when I touch the end to metal the horn goes off. Do I need to fabricate a splitter so that my horn wire can plug into both of teh tabs on the back of the horn pad? Thanks.

Was the new steering wheel attached to the steering column when you tested it? The horn button just earths the horn wire out so the wheel needs to be on for it to work. Other than that, the outside tab of the two needs a short earth wire on it so that it connects to hub. This will complete the circuit when you push the horn button.

Perfect, thanks. I followed your instructions and it works great. Thanks.

The material is called Alcantera and is a light weight imitation suede material. We order many of our 911's with this material including on the shift ****

nice job! i wish i had this when changed out my wheel.... next step is to spin CC your speedo. the smaller wheel blocks 80-100 mph straight up and occasionally i glance down for a speed check (of course on the track) and it's difficult to see sometimes.
