Steering Wheel Fitment Question: 997 on a 986? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

U importunately the 987 spline shaft is about twice the diameter as the 986. There are some adptorsrs made by VW Mexico that looks anout right but I haven't seen specs.

Thanks for the responses. Good information.

It also appears that the 986 wheel has a collar around the edge that attaches to the steering column. The 997 wheel is flat.

Did you ever look into that Mexican beetle adapter. I'm getting close to needing to do something.. (all ready have the wheel)

I responded to the user that a collar was available and he could buy the wheel and the collar if he felt lucky. (Not exactly those words, but essentially.)

The ebay listing expired without meeting the reserve. I listed it on Planet-9 and sold it quickly for $250 to a guy in Dallas. :dance: My conversion to a sport wheel only cost me $175 - well worth it in my book.

That'll work.

Thanks, PK
