Default 968cs Steering Wheel on a Carrera?

Hi Gang,

Carrera owner crossing over here!

I've been on the verge of buying a 930s steering wheel for my '85 Carrera Targa, until I saw the 968cs wheel you guys are putting in your cars. The embossed horn pad is far superior to the 930s set-up that you see available from folks like AJ-USA, IMHO.

Based on pictures I've seen, the turn signal and wiper controls on the 968 look very similar to those on my Carrera. Also, I've seen were 944 and 968 owners have installed the 930s wheel, so I wonder if the 968sc wheel would fit in my Carrera?

Does anyone know for certain?

Thanks!

I don't know if it will fit, but beware of one fact-almost every CS wheels I've seen had the Porsche crest slightly tilted in the pad. Just enough to make me nuts every time I look at it!

Wheel is fine its the boss that is different for a 911 to a 944, 968 etc

Who do Porsche use to emboss the crest, Stevie Wonder?

Would it be safe to assume then that you could buy the CS wheel, and the Carrera hub adapter (from AJ-USA or Pelican), and all would be golden?
