The 997 version steering wheel will not fit your 986, so you'll have to use the 996 GT3 wheel instead.

Btw, I think this guy did a terrific job on his interior...

I was referencing the 997.1 car, though I do not know how plug and play this is to a 986 car.

Certainly a happy medium I can live with! Onto the fellas interior, now that is a piece of work. Tastefully done in the highest respects. One day, one day!

Great news!

The kind folks at Carnewal responded to me this morning and notified me of their 997 GT3 Alcantara shift knob mated to a 996 leather boot/horse shoe for our vehicles. Suprisingly, they are not asking much for it. For those whom are interested in the unit I am including a link below.
