Porsche 911 Adapter for 991 steering wheel

The steering wheel adapter is a kit that makes possible to install, on a Porsche 911 (before 964 version), a steering wheel from a 991 or equivalent Porsche.

Why?

To update the interior look and ergonomics while retaining OEM interior appearance and elegance.

Does it work as a steering wheel spacer too? What’s the benefit?

The adaptor is made mating parts from a 911 and a 991 steering wheel spacer. Because of this, it brings the steering wheel 2″ (5 cm) closer to the driver, allowing to drive with the seat all backwards (with the consequent benefits for the legroom), and still holding the steering wheel naturally, without stretching the arms.

The driver’s sensation is godsend.

Adapter Installation Instructions to fit Porsche 991 Steering Wheel on Porsche 911

The installation procedure is the same as installing a steering wheel spacer:

• remove 911 steering wheel from the car, by popping out the horn button and unscrewing the central big nut
• swap the horn ring from the 911 steering wheel to the black hub, which replicate the OEM wheel’s fitment
• insert the hub in the steering shaft and tight the OEM nut that was holding the steering wheel in place
• mount the Spacershop’s shaft for 991 on the hub using the allen bolts included
• insert the 991 type steering wheel on our shaft, and secure it using the big bolt included.
• insert the airbag in the steering wheel by popping it back in place, of course it will work as horn only, not as an airbag, because 911 doesn’t have any.

The adapter is only mechanical: if you get a 991 steering wheel with the buttons for radio and cruise control, it will not be possible to adapt them on the 911, which did not have them, so it lacks the relative electronics.
