    Hi ,

    Hoping you can help , Just got my HKB boss kit and nardi wheel but struggling with the wiring as its all in Japanese

    Ive got a momo boss kit on the car with horn wired up , two wires on there. Then there are two spade connectors on the HKB hub side that these obviously go to , Then two on the steering wheel side to connect to the wheel ? Thing is the nardi only has one spade connector on the back of the horn so havnt a clue what im doing now ha !

    Any help much appreciated :)

    I would imagine the button should have a spring that touches the boss/wheel that creates the earth? Pop up a quick pic so we can see?

    Just need to know what I need to connect to the two prongs on the boss to join it to the nardi button , And where those spacer things on the right go.

    Depends what you have on the opposide side, if you need to use one there, use the other one.
    It goes between the spacer and the wheel, it's earthing the horn push.

    Thanks Kam , Its got an aftermarket boss with the positive and negative so il link that up to the snap off boss , then the positive on the wheel side of the boss to the wheel , negative to the spacer ring and sit it between the wheel and snap off part of boss - Sound about right ?

    I wont be with the car till the weekend so just wanted to get the steering wheel bolted to the boss ready to go on :)

    They're a tight fit, but go in.

    Pull your horn fuse out.

    I disconnected the snap off boss to try without fear of waking up the neighbours ;) , It will push in but then just pop back out again. When I put it back on the boss the horn goes off ( only briefly )

    Il give it another go tonight , Any tips on whats going wrong ?

    I don't know what to say really, but there's 2 pictures of them fitted, they do fit.
    It just clips in, it does take quite a bit of force, but be careful. It's fiddly :)

    Took it out and back in , although still not perfectly flush it went in a lot better this time.

    Problem though the horn button dosnt push in much at all now as if it has no room to move , I wont be at the car again for a few days now but imagine the horn is just going to be going off as soon as I connect the boss back together. - Any tips ?
