John Whitbourn Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Yes universal as long the same brand i.e. SPA won't fit Lifeline or Raceparts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True… not sure of a scrote’s toolkit for nicking cars but you’re right, it’s a reasonable risk that they won’t have an appropriate wheel, even if the bosses are universal!

paul_w Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I made the same assumption of compatibility at some point in the past so I have exactly the same combination as Guy! It's somewhere iny garage and I'd forgotten about until now. Unless the column size changed at some point? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR400D Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) When I wanted a new boss for a second wheel I found the standard boss from Lifeline is 180 degrees out compared with the Caterham supplied one. I had to buy a new boss and top shaft from CC. It could well be a boss directly from lifeline might have different splines too. Both my Caterham supplied bosses fit the original shaft in the same orientation; I still have the spare shaft. I always assumed it was another CC deal to stop suppliers supplying customers directly.
