Re: Momo steering hub needed

[George Graves <gmgraves@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Have you tried Centerline in Colorado? Alfa Parts in Berkeley CA? Or AR 
Ricambi in Southern CA? I've a centerline catalogue around here 
somewhere and it seems to me that they have lots of that kind of stuff 
listed. IAP, while usually a great source for most Alfa parts, seems to 
have dropped the ball in this area and doesn't seem to carry any 
after-market steering wheel paraphernalia except for one steering wheel 
for a Fiat X-1/9. But honestly, Alfa parts sources would seem to me to 
be a much better place to start looking than would Momo. They are only 
going to stock stuff for current models.
