I am installing a Momo Prototipo wheel in my 993 and have been reading all the DIYs and such. I have almost all the bits I need but I have run into a barrier.

One RLer wrote that there is a gap left after all parts are installed. He mentioned getting some 964 RS steering column covers and using those to reduce the gap.

I went looking around at Pelican and Suncoast and other places and could not find a part number. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,
Michael

He has a 993 though.............

I know. I was told the RS covers work on the 993. That is why I am asking.

The numbers I quoted are for a 993 RS (as well as other models without air bag)

BLT4SPD

Understood, but we (993 owners) utilize the 964 parts when converting to a non-airbag steering wheel. The 993RS uses these parts and if you convert to a 993RS steering wheel, they are on the list of items needed to make the conversion "Complete" or "Factory".

In the same breath, I'll tell you that I converted to the RS wheel in my 993 and did NOT buy those column covers. Do I think my interior would look "better" with the correct covers? Yes. Does it look "bad" with the orignal airbag covers? No.

Sorry guys, 964 dont have airbags in the UK (maybe the last few do) I know you had them across the pond in the mid to late 1980's

What I was mentioning is the plastic pieces that surround the steering column close to the wheel. I don't think it has anything to do with air bags.

But it does.

This is German engineering. Every problem must have a specific solution even if solution is much bigger problem than the original problem ever was.

+1.

The column covers are different for cars that have an airbag vs. cars that do not. They are NOT needed for the swap. It is a cosmetic issue, nothing more.

XavierLaFlamme

Yeah I figured as much. I am doing the install this weekend without them and I will see if it looks ok.

Also, thanks everyone for the info!

They're only about $50 for the pair should you decide you cant live with the gap!

I have an extra 964 column cover from my Momo install. Let me know if you are interested and I'll send you some pictures.
