Hoping someone knows this..

 

What is Momo Horn Pad / Airbag Cross Platform Compatibility?

 

aka.. will a BE/BH Momo Horn pad fit a BD/BG Momo Wheel?

 

will a BD/BG Horn pad fit a GC8 Momo wheel?

 

im looking at getting a new wheel and obviously a wheel without air bag is allot cheaper.. but will my BD one fit a GC8 Wheel..

 

any help muchly appreciated Guys..

 

Cheers,

Ty

According to SLi a 02 WRX momo wheel swaps over. That could be USDM only though

[CodeBurn3r]

yeah but thats the whole wheel.. im talking interchanging just the centre part...

[Barbbachello]

Ah now i see what you mean. Maybe ask chris for his spare woodgrain one and have a tinker with it

This is not particularly helpful, but may be of some use ...

 

The GC8 Momo Steering wheel airbag module uses a different connector to the BE/BH, not sure about the horn bad size in relation to BE9 wheel, nor the BD/BG... I'd be interested to know if I could swap the guts of my stock wheel into the GC8 one... I shall have a look and see.

 

I also have a B4 wheel with intact airbag, but the blue leather is nearly black from some cleaning the previous owner performed.

 

I can take some pics of my B4 and GC8 wheels side by side if that helps?

[CodeBurn3r]

well if you can swap the 2 pads on the wheels themselves it would pretty much answer my question

 

im 90% sure the GC8 will be the same as my 98BD  Momo..

 

also.. heres a odd fact... Momo is actually "Peach" in Japanese.. well actually Momotarō is Peach Boy or Peach Taro.. a Japanese Folklore hero..

so when your looking for Momo in Japan.. you actually have to search Peach.... haha

The one thing I don't know though, is how similar a BD/BG wheel is to a BE/BH ...

 

I'll pull the wheels out tonight / tomorrow and take some pics!

[CodeBurn3r]

yeah if you can check the BE BH works in a GC wheel then im confident the BD BG will fit the BE BH Wheel as like it said, the BD BG is same as GC GD

[binary]

Ah, yes ... of course!

 

Let you know how it goes...

[Barbbachello]

BD BG is same as GC GD

Which is why gen 2 is the best

[binary]

Verdict is ... The centre pad is not interchangeable between a B4 BE5 and WRX GC8 wheels.

Before swap:


After swap ... No good:

Dont some have a black ring with a red logo on them? Would kinda match your orange cluster

[binary]

No worries CodeBurn3r! I should have also clarified.. The one on the left is the B4 wheel.

There was an s401 one on eBay a little while ago, not sure if it's still there but they don't have the chrome ring.
