Steering wheel hub
Hello guys. I am new to the forum, so I apologize in advance if this isn't the right spot for this post, but I am looking for a reasonably priced/reliable steering wheel hub. Anyone with a lead? Thanks in advance, and don't forget to do it Dirty.

Boss is pretty much the cheapest you can get. http://www.ebay.com/itm/JDM-STEERING-WHEEL-HUB-ADAPTER-BOSS-KIT-CAMRY-COROLLA-MR2-AE86-CELICA-SW20-GT-S-/111021050807
NRG is better quality, but more expensive, and you have to mill it for the turn signal cancellation to work. http://www.amazon.com/NRG-Innovations-SRK-120H-Short-Steering/dp/B001HAP4DA

Works bell has perfect fitment (even the turn signal cancel), and is high quality, but it probably doesn't mean your idea of reasonably priced.

Re: Steering wheel hub
Sorry to revive a dead thread but I'm between getting a Works Bell hub and a Momo hub. Ive heard stories about some Works Bell hubs breaking so I was wondering if anyone has any opinions about either

works bell is the best that money can buy.

I've had the tall ae86 works bell hub for 4.5 years and no issues. I never heard of one failing, but I just did a quick search and was able to able to find 2 (links below). It sounds like there's a potential issue with over torquing the retention nut that holds the hub to the column because the cracks on the failed units seem to stem from the splined area - somewhat understandable I guess since the hub is machined aluminum. I always snugged the retention nut on mine a little past hand tight and haven't had any issues. The works bell documentation might specify a max tq. rating for the retention nut when using their unit in the included documentation, but I don't remember, plus it's all in Japanese anyway. The vendor in the miata forum said not to exceed 25 ft/lb.
