Dear god!
WTF! Just waited like 3 months for my Works Bell hub adapter so I could install my Nardi wheel... it came in today finally, but looking at it closer now, the damn horn button doesn't fit inside the hub... Anybody here running a Nardi wheel with a WB hub? I figured all hubs were pretty much the same in design in regards to horn buttons. This is ******* bullshit!
Well, I figured out there was a ring in the inner diameter of the hub that comes out, but that still doesn't explain how the wire clip on the bottom of the horn (the one that holds the horn spring and backing plate together), fits inside since its a super tight fit. Anybody have any ideas. This is my first after market wheel, so maybe I'm being a retard.
N/M, I started this thread in a rage, but I figured it out after a bit of cussing and engineering. Had to bend the clip a bit, and wiggle it around while standing on my head, but it works.

mine's a momo horn button on a ebay wheel. The OD diameter of the horn was the exact same size of the ID of my opening on the wheel.
I had to cut out a little plate for it to sit on so it didn't poke through when I pushed the horn.
therefore, i'm no help.
pictures always help...

Got it in today. It was as straight forward and simple as I could have imagined it. Airbag unit came out with no issues, and is now sitting in one of my RX7 shells. The yellow circle that controls the blinkers of which I can't think of the name for never caused any problems. Horn wiring and airbag resistor came PnP with the hub and worked without issue. Old wheel slipped off the splines with one solid push on the top of the wheel and new wheels went back on just as easily. I had to stop and stand back and look at it for a while when I finished because it only took like 10 minutes and went so smoothly. I figured I had surely forgotten something major, but all works well. Horn works, blinkers cancel and it fits snuggly and is straight up and down.
Yes my car is nasty, and the interior is STILL not finished. Still have to finish fiberglassing the center console and install it, need new floor mats, and it for sure needs a vacuum taken to it.

Needs a little rust to match my shifter lever also. I park in the yard and track so much dirt into that poor car. Carpet under the mats still look pretty much like new, but those poor mats have had a hard life.
