That looks interesting too, any experience w/ their quick release horn adapter? i can't quite picture how it would work

Then get a steering wheel with PTT buttons wired for the horn.

They come with coil cords so you can still remove wheel and move it around inside the car.
There is an easy fix.
Interesting

The 996 Cup style MOMO wheel is the Mod 07. The ones that came in the 6 Cup had Porsche engraved on the right spoke. 350mm

The 997 Cup wheel is an OMP Super Turismo. 320mm diameter.

I placed the Mod 07 in the car 1st and found it was dished out to far for me. Even with the column pushed all the way in it was TOOOO close to me when I got close enough too reach the clutch/brake & gas... It stinks being short. That was when I switched over to the Mod 78.

You used it last year Mark...

I just installed a Tekniq Snap-off that I bought used from a fellow Rennlister (thanks Michael). I'm very impressed with it's simplicity and lack of slop (as in, zero slop). Plus, its shallow depth was important to me (I was already seated really close to the wheel). AND it's relatively inexpensive (especially used!).

I highly recommend it!

I have the Rothsport in my car and it is really nice quality.
Something to consider if you need your horn is to simply rewire it to a different spot. I did this in my Boxster when it was still seeing street duty and detailed it here: https://rennlist.com/forums/boxster-...highlight=horn

Chris:
Yes I did! Hopefully I will bring my E car along this year. We shall see.

Dave:
Looks like you have your Rothsport QD mounted sideways. Reorient it so the piece attached to the hub looks like a frown.

Thanks, that's a slick install. I went w/ the Snap_Off w/ horn setup integral to the unit.
if I need to do a mkII version that is what i'll do.

I have this one on my '73. I don't like it, if it gets dirty it jams. Not easy to take on or off. The GT3 cup one is much better but of course more $$$.

Mine are all happy because they smile, no frowns here. Is there really a difference in how it should be mounted ? Smiling or frowning ?
The pictures on the Rothsport web site do show it in the frown position.
Anyone know ? Time to call Jeff ?

Viking:
The ones I have put in I have gone with the frown position since that's how Jeff has on his site. I have also seen them smiling in a few cars I know.

I have my rothsport mounted with a "smile". It is a replica of the Porsche iMotorsports one, and seeing how it is mounted that way in the Grand-Am Cupcar I help with, I did the same.... . However i really I really can't see it making a difference....

Cheers
