Boss for Westfield Steering Wheel to Sierra Column
Evenin' all!
I've got a Westfield sterring wheel that I picked up from Ebay and a conversion plate for fitting a QR boss (which I obviously can't have
for SVA).
I bought a Westfield boss, but it doesn't quite work properly.
To make matters a bit more complicated, I've just got a paddle shift fitted (courtesy of pathfinder - cheers!).
What boss's have other people used to get around this problem?
Edit to say that the Westfield boss is attached to the wheel, but you should be able to see the screw locations - ideally I'd find a boss that
fits the three holes on the adapter plate
Here's a photo of the wheel and adapter plate to you can see what I mean:

Im sure that there are only 2 PCD's on steering wheels. The one that mountney and of course others use and then what i will describe as an
italian PCD as ive known MOMO / Sparco / SWM etc fit this.
You may just need to get the sierra column boss that has the correct 6 hole pattern in for now and the convert to weld on QR boss that takes the 3
holes at a later date.
Other option is to get hold of OE ford wheel for now and switch after SVA to save you buying 2 boss kits.
This is of course assuning that the boss you have now is not for a sierra column.

The boss I have from Westfield does fit the diameter, but is too short and goes way past the threaded part of the column top.
The problem I was expecting from using a mountney boss was that the paddle shift wouldn't have enough room to work (assuming it's the same
size as the Westfield item, the paddle bumps into it).
I have two sierra steering wheels, so I might do an 'invasive survey' to see if I can butcher the ali centre to suit my needs.
