After a lot of searching around, I noticed that no manufacturer had released a hub adapter that fits US Lancers yet. I couldn't wait any longer - so I went and had one made.

Prototype machined from solid Aluminum billet. This is not a collapsable hub. Should be used for racing applications only.

If anyone is interested - let me know.... I am thinking about making a few more for sale.


This is the top view of the adapter.

Sweet! How much? I'll buy one

I'm not going to produce just one unit - too much work

If I can get minimum of 5, I can probably do it for CDN$150 each (US$115) plus shipping of course. If I can get 10 - I'd be able to drop the price to CDN$115 (US$85).

Also, the collar can be custom depth for your car - this would depend on type of steering wheel you have (ie: deep dish or flat) and if you like the steering wheel closer to the body.


There's no rush on this - I know you guys want it for summer.

Time to produce would be 3-5 days.

WOW you totally Stripped that ES! lol.. Yeah i want an aftermarket steering wheel from Tenzo-R. Do i definitely need this adapter to have an aftermarket wheel??? if so i wouldnt want mine to stick out that far like that one does.. lolol Im definitely interested! (es here also)

rallyken

yea - some people think I smoked too much weed up here in Canada

As far as attaching aftermarket steering wheels to your car, you will need a hub. Most manufacturers (ie: Momo, Sparco, OMP, etc) claim to have a listing for the "lancer 98 and up" model. I have bought every one, tried it and returned them as they don't fit.

Why they don't fit? Here's the issue, the US lancer uses a bolt from the side that pins the spline shaft to the column. Most hub adapters use a nut from the top of the coumn to secure the hub adapter. I was chatting with an OMP representative and he said this type of spline design hasn't been used in decades..... why mitsu decided to use this design - who know ....maybe someone at mitsu is smoking my weed.... geez

Until someone makes a hub adapter that uses a side pin to lock the spline shaft - there's probably going to be nothing available in the mass market for awhile.

hey can you make that to fit any aftermarket steering wheel i know that all use different bolt patters

rallyken

good question....

I believe that the OMP and Sparco are the same. Not sure about Asian wheels.

Best is to see if the wheel you have can use a Sparco or OMP hub, then we know what the measurments are..... otherwise, you'll need to send me some measurments and thread sizes.

Hi, I will definately buy the hub from you. The application is Momo Evo Millenium which seating at my room for more than a month now. Momo sent me their hub which they claimed to fit Lancer 92+, they such a liar or maybe just stupid, it doesn't work as you have said (silly me, I read your post only after I purchased). Thank you for the unprofessional + irresponsible 'evolution motorsports' in BC who wont let me to return the 'uninstallable' items as they promised at the first place. I live in Toronto, and hope to be able to have that hub as soon as possible. You can reach me Mario at 416-712-7096 or msujanto@rogers.com

Whats the risk of running a non-collapsable hub?
