MK2 Galaxy Sterring wheel

Postby Stuart30 » Sat Feb 02, 2013 11:51 pm

Chaps id really like to use a MK2 Galaxy sterring wheel in my MK5 van....does anyone know whats involved in fitting.

I know you can fit "other" wheels by using a boss...but would a Galaxy wheel be a more straight forward swap...?

What else is there to say?

The answer is NO a Galaxy Steering whell won't fit a Mk5 and......

No, a Galaxy Steering wheel will not fit an Aftermarket boss.....

Does that satisfy your quest for 4 lines of text?
