Adapter for 595 Competizione steering wheel on Grande Punto Abarth
The experience gained in the manufacture of spacers and the processing of Fiat ribbed stripes has allowed this idea to become a reality: to mount the steering wheel with carbon mouldings like that of the Abarth 595 on the Fiat Grande Punto.
The steering wheel controls continue to work because the buttons on the 2 steering wheels are the same. There is no need to upgrade the electronics or make any special connections.
The steering wheels that can be installed must be purchased separately, all steering wheels for Fiat 500 and Abarth are fine.
The experience gained in the manufacture of spacers and the processing of Fiat ribbed stripes has allowed this idea to become a reality: to mount the steering wheel of the Alfa Romeo 4C on the Abarth 500.
This change results in the loss of steering wheel controls. To restore them, simply re-install the 500 steering wheel.
Installable steering wheels must be purchased separately, all steering wheels from the 4C will do.

Aluminumsteering wheel for BMWs from 1 Series to 4 Series with ZF 8-speed automatic transmission and DKG dual clutch.
This kit is used by those who remove the standard steering wheel to install a goblet steering wheel, on track day or racing cars.
The standard steering wheel has sequential paddles, and when you take it off, you need to replace them.
Our steering wheel gearbox is completely built in aluminum machined from solid on CNC machines. Even the smallest hidden components are made of aluminum. Everything has been thought out from the outset with attention to lightness and ergonomics.
In the crescent blades, the + and - symbols are hollowed out of the aluminum, and contain a double groove to lighten them even more and to improve grip on the fingers.
They are mounted with 2 screws on the respective rockers, in which 2 slots have been dug that have the dual function of lightening and allowing the adjustment of the distance of the blades from the center. This is to precisely adapt to the shape and length of your fingers.
The paddles can be screwed on either side of the rockers, to adjust the distance to the steering wheel and fit your hands and driving preferences even better.
The aluminum-aluminum contact is what makes the shifting feel mechanical, together with the magnets embedded in the structure that work like springs.
The magnets can be changed to give greater resistance to pressure and give a harder or softer feeling of the shifting, according to your taste.
Inside the load-bearing structure of the gearbox is hidden the electronic part that guarantees its operation. The levers operate 2 microswitches, connected to a wiring harness that replicates the original electronics. Everything converges to an original BMW 2-pin connector , so as to ensure an immediate connection with the seat that comes out of the machine, without the need for welding, adaptations or coding.
The steering wheel gearbox is supplied pre-assembled and already with the wiring harness that interfaces with the original connector coming from the machine.
Our kit is designed to be coupled to all aftermarket steering wheels and steering wheel hubs on the market.
Installation can be done by anyone and takes no more than half an hour. There are assembly instructions, which you can download from this page.
The kit is designed and manufactured in Italy.
The gearbox mounts on all versions of BMW with the DCT and ZF8 steering wheel gearbox
So: BMW M2 M3 M4, M135i M140i M235i M240i
Aluminium steering wheel shift kit for 500 Abarth with MTA automatic transmission.
Let's face it: not everyone likes the MTA gearbox. Partly because car enthusiasts usually don't like automatic transmissions, partly because the MTA gearbox is considered slow and inadequate for the nature of the car.
In our opinion, this is not the case. We like the MTA gearbox, it allows you to appreciate the car even more and is very comfortable in the city.
Maybe something can be improved: the shifting feel and the aesthetic aspect. The plastic paddles already present on the original steering wheel are like simple buttons, so we designed this kit to give the shifting a more "mechanical" feel , as if each shift was a shotgun shot.
The aluminium-to-aluminium contact generates the mechanical feeling of shifting, combined with magnets that work as return springs. The magnets can even be changed to give greater resistance to pressure and give a harder or softer feeling of the shifting, according to your taste.
Inside the load-bearing structure of the gearbox is hidden the electronic part that guarantees its operation. The levers operate 2 microswitches, connected to a wiring harness that replicates the original electronics. Everything converges to an original Fiat connector , so as to ensure an immediate connection with the cable that comes out of the machine, without the need to carry out electronic operations.
The kit is compatible with all commercially available goblet steering wheel hubs and goblet steering wheels . It is installed in an intermediate position between the hub and the steering wheel.
This product is the same steering wheel gearbox that we supply to race, rally or track car teams. The kit is designed and manufactured in Italy.
The gearbox is fitted to all versions of the 500 Abarth with MTA gearbox, from 2007 to the present. So 595, 695, Competition, Touring, Track, 595c...
Not everyone likes the SMG gearbox, because the car enthusiast usually does not like the automatic transmission, and because the SMG gearbox is considered slow and inadequate for the nature of the car.
Not for us. We like the SMG gearbox: it's very comfortable in the city and effective on the track.
We have improved the shifting feel and the aesthetic aspect: our steering wheel gearbox is made of machined aluminum from solid.
The crescent blades are unloaded to improve grip on your fingers, and the + and - symbols are hollowed out of the aluminum, they are also adjustable to fit your hands precisely.
The aluminium-to-aluminium contact is what makes the mechanical feeling of shifting, combined with the magnets embedded in the structure that work as return springs. The magnets can be changed to vary the drive hardness.
The gearbox is fitted to all BMWs with the SMG 1 and 2 steering wheel gearbox: M3 E36 Smg, Bmw M3 E46 Smg, Bmw Z4 M Smg.
Pair of brackets to lower the Sabelt seat to the left side on 595 Abarth.
This kit lowers the seat by 2 centimeters and an additional centimeter at the rear to better enclose the driver in the seat. In addition, it brings the seat 1.5 cm closer to the centre of the car, then to the gear lever and allows you to adjust the backrest of the Sabelts without stopping and opening the door.
On the original 595, the Sabelt seats are judged by many to be too high, and it is impossible to adjust the height because there is no height adjustment.
We have had a 595 Abarth for 2 years and we have noticed that it is also impossible to adjust the backrest except by opening the door because the space between the wheel and thedoor itself is too small to put your hand in.
So we developed this variant of the kit to lower the Sabelts, which only we do and which solves all the problems six original seats. The brackets are interchangeable with the original frame, reuse all the original screws and supports and can be removed to return to originality.
To develop them, we have used our engineering skills to create a robust, functional and reliable product; the experience of driving the Time Attack to achieve the perfect driving position, and we have also taken on board the suggestions of many 595 Abarth owners.
The kit includes a third bracket to move the belt attachment, which would otherwise rub the plastic of the seat.
The brackets are made of steel , laser cut and bent on CNC press brake, powder coated.
Pair of brackets to lower the Sabelt seat RIGHT SIDE on 595 ABARTH.
This KIT lowers the seat by 2 centimeters. It's made for the right seat: if you're reading from England, this kit is good for the driver's side.
On the original 595, the Sabelt seats are judged by many to be too high and there is no height adjustment to lower them. Then you need to work on the frame that supports the seat.
We have developed these brackets, made of steel, laser cut and bent on a CNC press brake, painted by cataphoresis, to be mounted in place of the original frame that supports the seat.
They are interchangeable and reuse all the original screws and mounts and can be removed to return to originality.
Pair of brackets to lower the Sabelt seat LEFT SIDE on 595 ABARTH.
This kit lowers the seat by 2 centimeters.
On the original 595, the Sabelt seats are judged by many to be too high and there is no height adjustment. To lower them, you need to work on the frame that supports the seat.

Adapter for Porsche 996 and 993 steering wheel (3 or 4 spokes) on 964.
The experience gained in the manufacture of spacers and the processing of Porsche ribbed ribs has allowed this idea to become a reality: to mount a 3-spoke steering wheel of the 996 on the 964 and replace the old original steering wheel of the 964 which for us today appears a little aged.
The upgraded steering wheel must be purchased separately.
Adapter for Porsche 991 to 964 steering wheel.
The experience gained in the manufacture of spacers and the machining of Porsche ribbed ribs has allowed this idea to become a reality: to mount a steering wheel with a classic but innovative design such as that of the Cayman GT4 on a 964 and also on the contemporary 928, 968 and 944. The adapter allows the mounting of any steering wheel from 997 onwards, on all 928, 944 and 968.
The adapter is only mechanical: if you get a 991 steering wheel with controls for radio and cruise control, you will not be able to adapt them on the 964, which did not have them, so it lacks basic electronics. We recommend that you do not connect the new airbag to the 964 connector, you do not guarantee that the new type airbag will work with the old type electronics. Let's remember that more than 15 years pass between the 2 generations.
In any case, it should be remembered that on all cars, not only Porsche, the functionality of the airbag is no longer guaranteed after 10 years, due to chemical decay of the properties of the pyrotechnic gas inside.
Installable steering wheels must be purchased separately, all 997, 987, 991, 981, Macan, Panamera steering wheels will fit.
