What hub for FFR steering wheel?

[AZPete]

The leather steering wheel sold by FFR says it requires a hub but FFR doesn't sell it. I was told by FFR Sales to get a hub from a Subaru shop, but what hub should I ask for? Part #? I'd like to use the OE column and controls.
Thanks.

I'm in the same boat: I like the FFR wheel, and it's a good value.

If the 6-bolt pattern on the FFR is the same as common aftermarket wheels (Sparco, Momo, OMP, etc...) then something like this should work:

I'm also considering an NRG quick release and short hub, but was planning to waiting until I get my kit and seats, so I can fine tune the reach to the wheel and see if the quick release is actually needed for easy ingress/egress.

I'd appreciate if you share what you come up with.

Thanks,

Lee

Great!

Thanks, Joe. Hopefully the FFR hub will let me use all the OE controls on the OE column with the FFR leather wheel. I CAN'T use the old Subaru wheel on my new 818!!

Is the hub a 6 bolt Momo on the '33 as well?

Hey Joe
Will the hub be a quick release type?

Let me know if you guys need anything from NRG. I'm not making much money on it. It's just good to have it on the books for business. :)

Yup!

I'm torn. I like the F5 wheel - except for it NOT being a D-ring wheel. I also like the NRG D-ring (they call it a "flat-bottom"), but it wouldn't have the F5 logo. Decisions...

Pete,

I got a rather simple quick release hub for mine. This may not work for you but here goes. I took the FFR hub and cut the front off and drilled and tapped the back of it to fit the quick release hub. It added about 3/4 inch to the depth of the unit. NRG makes I real nice hub but I didn't research to see if you could add the OEM features of the stock wheel. The quick release is so helpful for getting in and out of the car so it's worth the extra trouble. Plus you can go to a 9 inch wheel with out any extra work if you want to do some track stuff. Good luck, WEK.

Thanks, WEK. I'll take the OE wheel off and then see what it would take to adapt the NRG hub. It's more fun to figure out my own solutions than have someone else do it. Now, I'll look through the Subaru manual to find "remove steering wheel".
