Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Has anyone looked at the electrical and mechanical possibilties for the conversion of a PDK steering wheel to be used on a 996 tiptronic ? Seems anything is possible with a will but the mechanics might make this an impossibility. It would be interesting to know if anyone has actually looked at the practicalities....

POST 2Original post

Unfortunately the 9x6 and 9x7 have different splines on the steering column, so aren't interchangeable mechanically, let alone electrically. Otherwise, I would love to be able to sell you a PDK wheel: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172140747937

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Could an adapter be engineered you think ? As far as the electrical side is concerned, my thinking is that both the TT and PDK actuators are just simple switches and therefore shouldn't present much of a problem....(but I've been known to be wrong before....)

POST 4Original post

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It's difficult to find a Techart version for older 911s. I know there's a guy who does conversions for the 996 wheels but it seemed sensible to me that if an adapter could be made for the PDK wheels, it would be a better job. And I like the 997 PDK wheels.... I may just buy Richards and take it to my local engineering company who have built things for me before.....everything is possible.....[ ]

POST 6Original post

The airbags are different too. Memory fails me at the moment, but IIRC the 996 has one connector, and I know the 997 has two.

POST 7Original post

Found this company like Richard says the spline is different but this is compatible for the 996. http://www.ebay.com/itm/P...mp;hash=item464095eff8

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for that. Yes, I've seen those before but feel they're a bit pricey, particularly when you add the shipping and duty/VAT.
