Boss kit
« on: September 12, 2009, 01:15:43 PM »
For us NZ's, just thought I would post this, got a Boss Kit sent from www.accessoriesonline.com.au no problems, delt with a guy called Stuart, good contact updates and sending of goods. I don't want a small sports S wheel on my van due to the size, but this allows me to have a good choice of a factory S wheel from another model. Cost $84.00 all up. Cheers Bas.

Sorry Stevo, yes would have been $84.00 AUS, as used paypal, talked to one of the guys at Wottons in NZ and they said the last ones they sold some 1-2 years ago went for $85.00 so I guess if you can't get them here this is the next best thing, O came with the center horn as well, hooked it up all fits and works well.

What sort of standard wheels can you run Baz ?? a larger wheel would mean not having to rely on the ArmStrong power assisted steering.

I thought a boss kit only allowed you to fit other aftermarket steering wheels. Factory ones you are stuck with what you get with the wheel ???.

when it comes to steering wheels the bigger the better.

it gives you some where to rest the newspaper while your driving.  :)
And you thought owning a bedford was going to be easy.

Will let you know what wheel I use,If you want to use a factory wheel its no problem, yes you have to re -drill the holes to match the boss kit but this is easy, took the wheel of our Delica 4x4 this morning and re-driled it fittered purrrrrrfit, hay but get this the wife came out to use the van while I had the s- wheel off and ask me if I knew where it went, I said someone must have taken it, her answer was SH...t, ok shes a Blondie, its back on now, but it looked better on the Beddie. ;D
