Aftermarket Steering Wheel Adapter for FD - I found the perfect one!

I am pleased to have found a steering wheel adapter than makes the installation of a Momo, Sparco or other such steering wheel a simple bolt on job for US Spec air bag equipped 93-95 RX7s.

A couple of years ago I installed a Momo steering wheel on my '92 Miata and loved it. I purchased a custom adapter from "Finish Line Performance" that is designed specifically for the air bag equipped 1st generation Miata. It comes with proper wiring to make the air bag warning light not go on and the horn connection a true plug and play experience. The adapter also cancels the turn signal perfectly.

I wanted to put a Momo Steering Wheel on my FD also and I was remarking at how the steering wheel setup on the two cars appear indentical. So I took a gamble and purchased the same hub adapter I used for my Miata and it works PERFECTLY. No air bag light, horn works fine, turn signals cancel, location is perfect and no cutting wires or modifications at all. The whole install took 20 minutes at a liesurely pace.

Here is a link to the website that sells it. You want the '90-'97 Miata steering wheel hub adapter:

Just thought I'd pass the word around!

Cheers!

I think I remember reading that an FD wheel will fit an FC wheel. If that is true...an adaptor that fits an FD will fit an FC also.

I would do a search in the 2nd Gen forum for more details on the wheel swap.

John,

I'm glad you found the Hub. I had posted about this after reading another thread that mentioned it a while back. I got the Hub from finishline, too. Coincidentally, it's part of the dealership right next to my house It's actually a Boss hub from Japan, IIRC. You got the one for the 90-97 (ie, earlier model) Miata, right?

EDIT: I found the old thread, and lo and behold, you posted in it! lol. Check it out: https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/aftermarket-steering-wheel-adapter-378825/. My post is the last one in the thread.
