AFAIK it won't.

80's polo or golf are usually easiest to find
if you're looking for aftermarket bosses.

Well done that man.
My wheel that I want to fit is a Moto-Lita. Not sure if the hole patten is the same. Find out when you sort one out.

I have a MoMo boss that used to be on my Scirocco and as the standard Scirocco wheel fits the T3 it may be of use to you.

Thanks. ghost123uk.
The S/wheel I have has a 3 1/2inc center hole...
9 bolt fixing...
bolt centers aprox 1 3/8inc

If that sounds the same as your boss, could well be interested.
Not going to promise, as guz came up first. But like me , he has to rummage in the garage to find any thing. And I think he is still at it.

i've found an Astrali wheel fitted
up to a Mountney boss and what i think
is a Momo boss that has a multifit
set-up slightly different to the Mountney.
we can't find a Moto-Lita anywhere
to compare holes though, been through
several car nut's stuff too.

this is highly frustrating !

Hi guz. Thanks for looking. I Think the important thing is the 3 1/2inc center hole. Not to worried about the number of fixing holes. Will any take a wheel with said center hole.

i'll sort you out the Mountney if that's
the right sized hole, that i didn't measure,
cos the Momo is steel so not much room
to re-drill around the edge safely.

PM your addy ?
