Can anyone tell me whether this would fit onto the mini steering column? I'm quite doubtful that it would, but you never know...?!

Yea, but the boss is usually car and model dependent, so I don't know whether this will fit, or whether I would have to get a different boss, or whether none of it would fit...

On minisport if you find a wheel on there you like you can specify if you want the snap off boss or not.

there are 3 parts to fitting a snap-off and steering wheel
1) the steering wheel
2) snap off boss
3) Car specific boss
the snap off bolts to the car specific boss so in addition to winning this auction you will need to buy a mini-momo/raid/omp boss kit this is fine if you get it cheap enough
new snap off boss is £99
new momo wheels are £120+
pay you money and take your chances
one thing i would say about this auction is that that wheel looks big, could be around the 350mm range and could be to big really i would not buy a wheel that big
my momo is 280mm

So the snap off boss bit, apart from being steering wheel specific, they are universal in terms of cars you can put them in? Ie. If you get a vw snap off boss you could then use that same snap off boss in a mini, as long as you got a car specific boss to go with it?
Side note, does anyone have any experience with these snap-offs? I was told today that you weld them to the column and they can make the steering wheel mount to the coloumn loosely, ie. when stationary, you can wiggle the steering wheel around?!

snap off are NOT car specific
you will need a momo/raid/omp or mounty "M" range boss for it all to fit your car, this boss is bolted to the column using the standard mini splines for location and the standard mini nut that hold the steering wheel on
the snap off is bolted to this
the wheel is bolted to the snap off
no welding is involved at all
you can buy snap off style kits that weld to the steering column the hex versions are C**p and wear terrible but the spline ones are good, these are really only for single seaters and lightweight race cars
