momo wheel but no horn or self cancel on indicator

The Volvo 480 looks good as is, but if you have the desire to give it a more personal look you can find out what others did to their 480 and be inspired.

momo wheel but no horn or self cancel on indicator

Post by JayTee » Thu May 19, 2005 9:23 pm

the horn should be no problem to sort
but I would like some advice on how to sort the indicators
I have removed the airbag wheel and chucked the boss kit and steering wheel on its a hassle remembering to cancel the indicators would I
be able to rig something (prob post some pics tomorrow)

not sure with whatever wheel youve got (momo make loads a different ones that fit....palm beach?)
basically the self canceller thing is just a little spike out the bottom of the wheel, so it should be easy enough to rig something up that works as well.

Hi JayTee,
If you get it sorted, please let me know how you did it!
I´m also changing my srs wheel to a palm beach one..and it would be nice to get the "self canceller" sorted out from the beginning. :D

Don't start supergluing sticks on, JayTee - just get a bleedin steering colum from a pre-92 car - cheap as chips and it can't be too hard to fit them (although I'm soon going to find out) :)

Really easy. I had to do it a couple of months back to fit my Momo. The column's only held on with 4 bolts, plus the one to the steering rack. You will need the pre 92 spacer washer too as the airbag version is longer. i'd say an hour would have it done easily. :D

I already know. :wink:
Changed mine to fit a Momo wheel. Not that hard, the trickiest part is to drill out the old steering lock if you want the same one that you had before.
After the swap, it works like a treat. Self cancelling, horn...everything.

Takes a couple of hours but well worth it.

If it helps someone the old steering column looks like this:

Haven´t fitted it yet..sunday might be the perfect day for the swap :D
Thought the self cancelling had to be sorted out even if using the old steering column.. :? but apparently I´m wrong-> Great

Hello to everyone, I´m quite new here :D

Well the white Owl mobile is now a club MOMO member thanks to the loan from the spare Paris......SHhh dont tell the wife.

You do need the older steering column in order to make everything work.
Not a hard job to change over, just be careful with the SRS airbag.

Most time consuming part was removing the ign barrel / steering lock and swapping over.

Horn and self cancelling indicators all working fine, without the Wheel feeling like its gonna fly off in your hands (Lee :wink: )

Would really advise changing the column. Its not difficult and everything works as it should with no messing about.
