Damn you Singers!


Those Momo Prototipo steering wheels just look too good. And makes for a better drive for sure, smaller diameter, tighter grip, plus they probably make you feel like you're driving an RSR - I couldn't resist.


So, here's what you'll need (well, not all those parts were right!):


I got these parts from Design 911:

Obviously for a 993 (911) C2 1994-97

Prototipo - Black LTH / Black - Momo
Code: M11111525211
£167.99

Boss Fitting Kit
Code: ML7004
£57.99

Horn Contact
Code: 96465210400
£15.95

Classic leather embossed crest horn push button
Code: HORNPUSH002
£55.95

This horn button is the closest you'll get to the Singer one - theirs are bespoke and you can't get hold of one unless you spend north of half a million dollars!!! 

Even though the site says so (and they confirmed it), this part IS NOT compatible for a 993 modification:

Airbag Bridge Plug. Resistor for air bag warning light.
Code: 92861222000
Price: £33.78

Having consulted Gert at Carnewal (who literally knows everything about everything when it comes to 993s) he sent me one of these little guys (a 2.6 ohm resistor), that did the job! That said Paul needed to use the diagnostic computer to then disarm the air bag warning light so not a DIY job. Next time the trick is to fit the resistor before you turn the ignition back on, which means you won't need that fancy diagnostic kit (good tip!).


And the RothSport Steering Hub Adapter isn't the same one Singer use as it mounts on the underside of the boss, not the top side, so I decided against it and sent it back. 


The RothSport Steering Hub Adapter
Code: RS-095
£95.00

And one last thing, you'll probably want to change the steering column cover, top and bottom, otherwise you'll be able to see an unsightly galvanized steel plate (pic below) - the 964 parts do the job to conceal everything - see before and after pic below. 


Switch Housing 911 Carrera 94-98
Code: 9645522750001C
£36.26


Switch Housing 911 Carrera 94-98
Code: 9645522730001C
£19.37

(I also ordered these bits, but think I ended up using the originals so not necessary; Speed nut; 99959188802, Screw; 99907304702, Screw; 90014300207) 

Thanks to Paul at Northways for fitting!
