Hi. I fitted a 993 RS wheel to my 996 and came across the very same issue. I eventually solved it by running a cable from the original horn earth and soldering it to the collar/bracket that secures the switch gear onto the column. I can't claim credit for this fix as I got some great help off the 911 forum.

@TheThrottleCable 4 года назад

Thanks David, and yes I am going down a similar route. Testing with my multi-meter I have a good earthing point where you suggest.

@infinitemotors 3 года назад

Mine is apart for the RS wheel as well, but I can’t picture what part you’re soldering to,, part of the big “M5” plate or somewhere behind?

I , too, ride momo prototipo. love it. however, I have been eyeing california, indy, grand prix (as I love the wood feel). The only thing I do differently to most folks is that I install a horn button elsewhere to avoid cable snap when turning.

@TheThrottleCable 3 года назад

Always good to have some choices in life! I must say I’m confused with ‘cable snap’ on the wheel? What on earth have you experienced?!

@2702simmo 4 года назад

That wheel looks perfect. Something I want to do with my new 996. I have one on my TVR and they’re so much better with sporty cars

The smaller diameter works so much better too I think 👍

The wheel is a nice touch👌 I have a MOMO cup style wheel but haven’t fitted it yet. I don’t do electrics 😂

@TheThrottleCable 4 года назад

Another option recently suggested to me is the NRG hub that retains the clock spring - it's a bit bulkier than the Momo to cover the clock spring but might be just what you need

@matthewliavaa9490 3 года назад

@@TheThrottleCable this seems like the best option. Because it would solve the problem of the washer/spacer and the horn wouldn’t it?

@TheThrottleCable 3 года назад

I would say it’s an alternative option rather than a better option - they both have their merits. The NRG solution certainly makes installing simple and would make swapping between a standard and aftermarket wheel quicker 👍

@leehartshorn1479 4 года назад

Steering wheel looks nice buddy ;-) I believe I've seen a discussion on the 911uk forum about the same issues. I've been considering doing similar with mine but think after seeing this I might be getting somewhere to fit it for me if I do 😆

@t.s.9592 3 года назад

Great review, I believe you’ve had some miles covered after your mod07 being fitted. Does the dish offset causing any difficulty reaching wipers/indicators controls in daily use?

@TheThrottleCable 3 года назад

thank you! It takes a little getting used too, as the reach is certainly longer - but after a while you just get used to the new position and it becomes normal again. It's no problem. The one thing i would recommend is an eccentric spacer as it lifts the wheel to better see the dials (the original Porsche wheel is eccentric spaced) - note it does add about 15mm to the reach.

@t.s.9592 3 года назад

@seamusmcfitz913 2 года назад

Thanks a lot man. Helped me tremendously. So, you don't reinstall the clock spring?

@TheThrottleCable 2 года назад

No worries Seamus! No clock spring in this setup; the clock spring is the modern way of transferring the positive and negative to anything electrical on the steering wheel - e.g. horn / airbag. With this modification we are going old school with the positive contact being made by the copper slip ring and the negative being to chassis via the steering column 👍 If you want to keep the clock spring NRG have a neat hub solution that incorporates it.

@@TheThrottleCable thank you. Keep up with the great videos. Appreciated!

@zxsand 3 года назад

Just saw the washer, what type of washer was it? Hi, I see this phrase, "996 and Boxster required a washer for the nut to properly tighten" , but no one explains what kind of washer or provides instructions. If you have any advice on this it would be greatly appreciated

@TheThrottleCable 3 года назад

Look at 16:30. This comes as part of the momo kit; it’s needed as the thread on the column are not deep enough for the momo hub and therefore this packs out/spaces the nut far enough to be on the threads. Its approx 10mm tall.

@bowhook628 3 года назад

Hi, was wondering how you where you got the copper clock spring to ground the hub

@TheThrottleCable 3 года назад

The spring you should be able to get from any Porsche parts shop - you need part: 964 horn contact 964.652.104.00. The slip ring itself comes with the momo hub.

@thuston911 3 года назад

Where did you get the contact brush block that slips through the hub to power the brass ring for the horn?

@TheThrottleCable 3 года назад

It came with the momo hub set but you can pick it up from Porsche direct - part number in description 👍

@mar1b0ro 4 года назад

Great video, gonna be doing this on my 996 when i get a free weekend. Would be great if you could do a follow up video of how you fix the horn issue once you work out what the problem is... then i can do the same😀😀

@TheThrottleCable 4 года назад

Yes; it’s possible to earth the steering column directly from the just behind the squib - got the tip from Marky911👍

@mar1b0ro 4 года назад

sweet. just one question. the big thick washer and sprung washer that you put on to fix the momo hub, does that come with the hub assembly or is it part of the original wheel fixing or do I need to buy that as well? if so could you please let me know where you sourced them?

@TheThrottleCable 4 года назад

steve wright the sprung washer and nut are the original and the big thick nut came with the momo 996 hub set - I got this from the seller ‘bellavolante’ on eBay 👍

@mar1b0ro 4 года назад

@@TheThrottleCable many thanks, i didn't buy the kit, just bought the boss on its own. Any idea how thick the spacer needs to be?

@TheThrottleCable 4 года назад

It’s appropriately 10mm Steve, I’ve not measured it but that’s my guess

@Omarportigliatti 2 года назад

Your video was awesome. I did the same mod but when I turn the wheel aprox 3/4 turn the horn goes of , is only one spot when I turn that triggers the horn, do you have any suggestions. Going crazy here

@TheThrottleCable 2 года назад

It could be that 3/4 turn is the only spot your steering column has a good earth and hence the horn sounds as the circuit is complete - check my steering column earth video see if that helps 👍

@karlsinclair9514 2 года назад

Great video. have the same issue with my 993. I ran the second earth cable from the clock spring to the steering but still the same issue. Driving me mad.

@esti5506 Год назад

At 16:32 you talk about needing those spacer washers. Where did you get those, or what thickness are they?

@TheThrottleCable Год назад

The spacer is part of the momo/Porsche hub kit. Sorry, but I don’t know exactly what those dimensions are as all parts are now installed.

@rk5rk5rk5 3 года назад

Hi thanks for the video... i did everything you said but everytime i connect the 2 connectors the horn goes off what could be the problem?

@TheThrottleCable 3 года назад

The live side of the circuit just needs an earth to sound - e.g. if it touches the chassis it will sound. If you connect the two wires you complete the circuit and the horn will go off. The horn button breaks the circuit and only when you press it, should it connect the circuit to sound the horn. So two ideas - you could have introduced an earth by accident; or your horn button is in a closed position. Have you checked with a multimeter?

@rk5rk5rk5 3 года назад

@@TheThrottleCable thanks for the advice i will have it check with a multi meter ill let you know the progress cheers!

@KiwiPokerPlayer Год назад

How have you found the Mod.07 itself? I need to replace the wheel on my modified 2nd gen Surf, it has a Momo installed but the spacer is too short and it used to be suede but now it's a crumbling mess because a previous owner put a suede wheel on a vehicle used for actual off-roading. I'm looking at the leather version like this one so I can use the existing spacer and get some room between the wheel and the wiper/indicator stalks.

@TheThrottleCable Год назад

I love it; I used it first without an eccentric spacer which meant losing the top of the dials. With the spacer it’s perfect. It also has great reach - the dish of the wheel brings it closer than stock.

@KiwiPokerPlayer Год назад

@@TheThrottleCable Oh yes, you're right! I didn't think of better visibility of the dials. I can't see all of mine either the way it's configured since the dish is around 40mm. A deeper dish will help. Thanks for the reply; I think I'm sold.

@iang953 4 года назад

Glad you took my advise and went for a mod O7. You have just made me doubt myself with regards to the horn and been and checked mine works with the ignition on and it does. Could you not use the spare earth you taped up to earth the column surround? Not sure what I did as it's a few years back but nothing technical as I recall it worked straight away?

Yes for the negative line I was thinking just the same, however I’m not sure where would give the constant negative needed 🤔
