Default 944 Steering Wheel

I just bought a four spoke steering wheel from a 1987 944 Na. This will fit my 924S, right?

hmmm. you may want to compare the length of the "pin" sticking out on the back of the wheel- i think the early style was alittle shorter than the later style and if you bolt it on you can short out your turnsig switch and burn up some wiring- ask me how i know. That being said i think you can swap the backing w/ the pin on it from wheel to wheel.

Dan is correct. Just remove the backing from the older wheel and you should be ok.

You also may need to swap the hub- there are different offsets as well.
