WTD: sell/make me a Mountney classic steering wheel spacer?
Humbug - 30/8/12 at 08:29 AM

Does anyone have, or have the wherewithal (lathe + chunk of ali) to make, a spacer for a Mountney classic steering wheel (the one with the wider PCD)?

On my MX5 (yes, I know, but I used to have a Stuart Taylor!) I have a Mountney with the right boss, but I am finding it a bit far away to be comfortable. I am looking at say a 25mm spacer.

From memory, the PCD is 6x100mm and because of the location of the existing boss holes, I think I would be able to bolt into the spacer from both sides (steering wheel and boss), so I would be looking for threaded holes all the way through. The spacer would need to be lathed out in the middle to fit the horn, so effectively a doughnut shape.

If anyone knows of anything, or could make me one up, please email or PM me. If there are any takers, I will double check the measurements, bolt size, etc.

Thanks in advance

Would this be the same as the sierra mountney mounting boss?

If so i could be interested in one as well for the right price.

errr, not sure. My one has a splined end to go on the MX5 column, then the other end has a lip which the bolts go through leaving enough room to whack on some nuts. On mine there looks to be enough room to feed through a bolt from underneath, hence saying that threaded holes all the way through the spacer should work.

any milling shop will do that. wont be too expensive either.

Not sure exactly what a milling shop is, but does anyone know of one in North West Kent/South East London... or, as per my original post, does anyone have the machinery to do it for me?

Cheers,
