The Complete B-G and MOMO Daihatsu Steering Wheel Hub Guide
The boss kit picture for Daihatsu looks simpler than it first appears. Five different models take one hub. The Charade, Cuore, Rocky, Feroza and Applause all fit MC3407, one collapsible MOMO hub covering the lot.
The catch is the Charade. It ran from the late 1970s through to the late 1990s and changed its steering column three times in that span, so the hub you need depends on when your car was built. I have mapped the full range below, and the timeline chart in the next section shows where every model sits. I’m Cameron, and Daihatsu fitment questions come to me at GSM Performance most days.

Why fitting an aftermarket wheel takes a boss kit
An aftermarket steering wheel will not bolt directly to a Daihatsu’s column. The factory wheel sits on a splined shaft matched to the depth of the original horn pad, and swapping it without a boss kit puts everything at the wrong height.
A boss kit bridges that gap. It carries the column splines and sets the correct offset for your car. Every kit in the range is machined for a specific application, so the splines, the shaft diameter and the depth are all set for that model at the factory, and it comes with the hardware needed to complete the swap.
It joins two different fittings
Your column has splines. The back of the wheel has a bolt pattern. The hub is the only part that speaks both.
Collapsible or not: the year decides
MOMO MC3407 is built for the collapsible column fitted to the Charade from 1987. The B-G hubs covering earlier models are non-collapsible. If you are not sure which column yours has, check the year against the chart above.
One bolt pattern on the wheel side
Every Daihatsu hub in this range uses the same 6 × 70mm bolt pattern on the wheel side, so the wheel itself fits everything in the list. The column side varies by model and year.
The Charade changes column three times across its life. BG8011 covers the earliest cars up to 1983, BG8012 covers 1984 to 1986, MC3407 covers 1987 to 1991, and BG8130 covers 1991 onward. Check the build year on your listing, not just the model name.
The Cuore takes BG8381 on 1991 to 1994 cars, then BG8130 from 1995. The Rocky takes BG8013 on 1984 to 1992 cars, then MC3407 from 1993. The Feroza, Charmant and Applause all take MC3407.
Steering wheel installation explained
So how does a Sparco wheel end up on a MOMO hub? Because nearly every aftermarket motorsport wheel is drilled to the same pattern, six bolts on a 70mm circle, written as 6 x 70mm PCD. MOMO, Sparco, OMP, Simoni Racing and the Mountney M-Range all use it. The hub is chosen by your car, the wheel is chosen by you, and nothing locks you into one brand.

How each brand drills its hubs
The B-G Daihatsu boss kit range
B-G makes seven Daihatsu listings across six part codes. Five cover the Charade across its three column eras, one covers the Cuore from 1991 to 1994, and one covers the Rocky on 1984 to 1992 cars. BG8130 is the exception: it fits both the post-1991 Charade and the post-1995 Cuore from a single part, and it also appears in the Toyota catalogue.
All six B-G parts are non-collapsible. The chart above maps every part against the year axis so you can check at a glance which one fits your car.
The MOMO and OMP Daihatsu hubs
MC3407 is the MOMO Daihatsu range in one part. One collapsible hub, five models. The Charade from 1987 to 1991, the Cuore up to 1994, the Rocky from 1993 onward, and both the Feroza and the Applause across their full runs. If you have a Daihatsu and are not sure which part to order, MC3407 is the first one to check.
The Feroza also has its own OMP hub in OD1960DA383. Both fit the same car. The OMP kit is listed alongside the MOMO range below.
The Charade across its three eras
Four different boss kits cover the Charade depending on when it was built. The modification era falls in the MC3407 window, 1987 to 1991, which is where most modified Charades sit.
| Years | Part code | Brand |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 1983 | BG8011 | B-G |
| 1984 to 1986 | BG8012 | B-G |
| 1987 to 1991 | MC3407 | MOMO |
| 1991 onward | BG8130 | B-G |
B-G Racing
7 Daihatsu hubs
Six part codes across the Charade, Cuore and Rocky. BG8130 covers the post-1991 Charade and the post-1995 Cuore from a single part.

MOMO
5 Daihatsu hubs
MC3407 covers five models: the Charade, Cuore, Rocky, Feroza and Applause. One collapsible hub for the whole range.
View the MOMO Daihatsu rangeWhy not add a steering wheel quick release kit
A quick release sits between the boss kit and the wheel and lets you pull the wheel off the column in a second. For a Charade used on track days, that means faster entry and exit between sessions without fighting the fixed column. A wheel that comes off with you is also a wheel that stays with you when the car is parked.
All four take the same 6 x 70mm wheels as everything else on this page, so the wheel you choose further down will fit whichever one you pick.

Pair your boss kit with a high performance steering wheel
Once the hub is sorted the wheel is entirely your choice. On a Daihatsu, a wood rim suits the classic cars well, while a plain black leather three-spoke sits more cleanly in the compact cabin of a Charade or Cuore. These are the ones I would put on a Daihatsu.

Every wheel we sell is drilled 6 x 70mm, so any of them will bolt to any of the hubs above. The only real decision is diameter and dish, which changes how heavy the steering feels and how close the rim sits to your chest.
Final thoughts
Daihatsu turns out to be an interesting one to write up. It looks straightforward because MC3407 covers so much of the range, but get into the Charade and there are three column changes to map. BG8130 sharing between the Charade and the Cuore was a good find: it is the same hub sold under a different listing, and it also turns up in the Toyota catalogue. If you have a Daihatsu and want a second opinion on the part before ordering, I’m usually around. Cheers, Cameron.
