Which OMP boss?

I was wondering if anyone is able to tell me or link me to the steering wheel boss that they put on their 197? Mine is a 06 plate.

OMP's website, demon tweeks website and all others say the one that fits clio 197's from 06-08 is part number: OD/1960RE787A

So I bought this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OMP-Stee...rentrq:3d0b418516a0ac80728bfc55ffe0486e|iid:1

It came today, I went to put it on and when I slipped it on the splines it didn't look like it was on far enough, and was hitting hard so cant go on any more. The little lugs do sit into the squib but there is a little play before it turns it.

When all is tightened up it feels fine except it clicks all the time and won't cancel the indicator until near full lock.

The standard wheel seems to have a counter sunk shape in it letting it to go in further:

And the OMP one is just straight, meaning it can't slip over the cone shape on the car and just goes up against itIMG_0418.jpeg

Am I doing something wrong? Have I the wrong boss?
The box for the boss says <06 even though it is the right part number compared to all the websites saying 06-08. So confused :worried:

The bit on the back is only for the indicator cancel.

Has yours got 3 grooves in it? Mind had 3 grooves that had to be lined up? Mine's an '08. You'll see them on the pictures I put on facebook.

Yea it has the three grooves and it goes onto the splines a little bit but then hits the cone shape on the steering column. It doesn't go in far enough because of that and the lugs just sort of go up to the squib making it click a lot.

Thanks for the pics, if you compare your boss to mine, yours has a concave shape before the spline (exactly like the picture I have above of the standard wheel) and mine doesn't its just flat. I need to get one like yours. Yours goes on further looking at your picture of the test fit on FB.

Thanks again for the pictures, I was pulling my hair out lol

I see what you mean now.

Hope you get it sorted.

Found it hard to get the same brand of one as yours but one of the shops that has the OMP boss for clios 08-12 sent me a picture of the back of it and it looks exactly like yours, I ordered that to see how it goes.

Hi @av4625 - Bringing up an old thread, I don't suppose you remember the part number of the OMP boss/hub kit you ordered?

I know you mentioned OD/1960RE787A (states it's for 06-08 models) but did you send this back and get OD/1960RE117A (states it's for 08-12 models)?

I too have a 56 plate (2006/2007) 197 and am having trouble finding details on which is the correct part number!
