Yes, the MOMO knobs come with an adapter which you can see in the photos.
It’s that metal trim piece that you see on the bottom of the knob.

If you buy a MOMO “performance” boot it screws directly to the knob and looks like a “cleaner” install because the leather comes up right to the bottom.

See the metal ring at the bottom of these:

You won’t have that because the BOOT screws directly to the bottom of the knob.

All the metal ring does is attach the new knob to the shaft.
The old boot from that plastic piece down would remain.

Someone here has theirs done that way and it doesn’t look all that good.

Momo makes a boot adapter that replaces the collar that comes with the knob.The plastic ring is accually a inverted zip tie.throw it away and use a piece of wire to tie the boot to the new collar.
