Model Year 15 - Steering Wheel Upgrades
Hi All, Newbie to this forum...

I have just purchased a MY15 Defender. One of the first things i am wanting to do is change the steering wheel. Ideally, this steering wheel would be a MOMO. However, I have noticed on websites such as TWISTED, they do not fit MY15 Defenders.

Any advice on this would be much appreciated.

Thank you and happy motoring

Yes they will fit. You just need the correct boss.

What's the difference between the 2015 model one and the pre 2015 one?

I have a Momo A8502 steering boss but wasn't sure if this is suitable for 2015.

As far as I'm aware it's to do with the fact that because the 2015's come with DSC they have steering angle sensors on the column so old style, 2 pins poking out the bottom to cancel the indicators, no longer fit. Defender Puma 110XS SW

^^^^ correct.

Although it's not just the pins missing there are also additional slots in the boss.

The Optimill boss that we supply comes with removable pins and slots so can be used for both and is one of the slimmest bosses on the market

First of all, welcome to the forum @mcmen, it's a brilliant place here full of knowledge and terrific helpful members.

I fitted a new boss and smaller wheel to my wife's 90 hoping this chunky monkey could sit in it more comfortably but the snap off boss sticks out much further and it's bloody worse now. How narrow do they come?

Unless you machine and weld something yourself like lorryman the slimmest snap off and boss combo is the twisted and murrey sport combo at just inder under 2 inches!

Twisted boss is very nice, but comes at a cost Big Cry Anybody have pictures of the other options fitted ? Currently have the standard Urban Truck one on the TD5, and looking at options for the new one .
