how to modify NSX Sparco Hub to fit?

[rx7]

Hi guys, I bought a momo steering wheel, and tried to get a momo hub, but out of stock, so I got a Sparco one for the prelude/NSX.
tried to put it on yesterday but doesn't fit.

Is anyone using Sparco hub, and how did you make it to fit? Thanks everyone.:smile:

There are a few adapters/spacers that mate the Sparco pattern to the Momo pattern.

Here is one option:

Hope that helps.

I'm sorry, I just re-read your post again. It sounds like you have the wrong hub if it does not fit on the car spline.

Thanks for the reply but what I meant was the hub does not fit my car, Can someone help?
Because the Sparco website indicates that it fits NSX, and I think I heard before some owners said it fit as well,

Where doesn't it fit? Steering wheels and hubs can be very finicky to install and remove (for a good reason). Is the hub, or spline, indexed?

Does the hub not slide properly into the spline like it doesn't line up?

I am using a Sparco NSX / Prelude hub as well and it slides in just fine. What is the part # you have? I can cross reference it with the part # from the actual box.

The Sparco part number #01502083
The bottom of the hub is a solid round piece with no hole for the horn wire to go through, and the base on the car has 2 spikes and a part that comes up with the wires in it. I do not know how to explain it, but it does not simply slide in. Can someone post some pics to explain to me?
Thanks a lot

Given that most people would already have the part installed and thus taking pictures would require some level of dis-assembly, why don't you post pics for us instead?

That is the same part # I have. I think you are trying to install the HUB over the SRS reel. I removed the whole reel and wire to expose the full spline. That way, the hub will slide in. I don't think you can install the hub without removing the SRS reel.

Note: Your SRS light will be on once you remove the reel.

ohhh, that's why! I did not know I can remove that part. So, I will try that and see, then, I would need a spacer for the hub, I read that, is correct?

Spacer is not necessary and is optional. I did not use a spacer with mine and it performs great. It will be shorter by about an inch at the most. Remember to have your wheels straight so you install the hub straight. Then mark the spline and hub with some paint or nail polish so if you ever take it off again, you will know where to align again.

Thanks everyone for the help and Thanks for the pics to explain to me Chris!:smile:
But for the SRS Reel, can anyone tell me how to take it off? I am still a little unsure about it cause last time I did not see a screw or place to take it off, help would be much appreciated!!! thanks a lot.
