i know it says universal, but there's no boss with it. the 6 holes look a little small to fit my mountney, but pictures can be deceiving, get the seller to send you mesurements; i think thats the best way to go about it.

In a word NO

Most of the time universal stuff doesn't fit meaning you end up paying more for it be adapted to fit
There’s also no boss with it and its not as special as its been made out to be

Hi
You'll need a MOMO/SPARCO/OMP type boss to fit that steering wheel.

So no, it´s not a straight fit.
If you ask me I don´t really like that super-advanced type-R steering wheels on Minis...

I had a 90's Momo :

But changed it to a '78 Momo.
I like it retro style. :D

So don't the Momo(etc) bosses fit straight on then? (I'm sure i've seen them advertised, so they must be available?)

Exactly, of course it will fit if you buy the right boss. All aftermarket steering wheels need seperate bosses so don't be put off buying one becasue of that.

Phew. I was panicking then. I was expecting some comment about the spline specs to be different!
