momo wheel

[debushau]

I bought a Momo wheel from Caterham with a standard boss recently. Bought it from Caterham by mail order under the erroneous assumption that it would be pre-drilled - otherwise I could have saved myself a few by getting it elsewhere.

 

Now that I have the wheel I am wondering what's the best way of determining the wheel's centre and ensuring that I don't mess up the drilling. I imagine a drill press would be wiser that a hand held. Is it good practice to put washers under the screw heads?

When I did this to my DT supplied Momo, there was a very shallow punch mark on the rear, done before the anodising, so it was black all over. I spent forever getting the 3 holes marked properly, then used a drill press and fitted countersunk bolts.

James Whiting has a Jig. I'm sure he'd drill it for you for a reasonable price.

I seem to recall James Whiting charges £5 a hole +VAT

That sounds more like a Golf wager.

I took a look at the wheel and noticed that little dimple. That should do the trick in helping to line it up. Countersunk bolts a good idea. Santa just needs to bring me a drill press.
