Rx7 Steering wheel-will it work?

[wrestler3025]

Hey guys,

Does anyone know if a 3rd gen rx7 steering wheel will bolt on? I know the older ones will.
Anyone??

Does anyone know if a 3rd gen steering wheel will fit on a first or second gen rx7?

Momo steering wheel

I prefer a handsewn, leather wrapped, Italian made steering wheel by Momo.
It's the kind they put in Ferraris.
Just install it with a Momo Mazda adapter.

Ugly, stock plastic steering wheel:

Beautiful feel, Momo leather steering wheel:

yes, i got my rx-7 3rd gen to work.... it will physically fit ok, no problems. the problem comes in when you want the horn to work. you know on the festiva stock there is that plunger-like thing that touches the circular steel piece on the stock festiva's wheel? well, on the 3rd gen rx-7 wheel, it does not touch and therefore the horn doesn't work..
here is what i did, i actually made a piece (out of a HUGE washer) and made it work. horn works like a charm. all that plunger does is it needs a ground and the horn goes off.
let me know how this goes.

Thanks for the reply ejp2fast. I was hoping SOMEONE on this forum would know. I can go ahead with my purchase then:-)
