I bought one of those NRG Quick Release hubs the other day. Blew my budget, but what the Fudge. I won't have doors on my car so the quick
release was essential.
I am very impressed by the quality of the piece. The lock mechanism is very positive and there is NO PLAY whatsoever. Solid as a single piece. Very
nice finish. I paid $130 for it and think that it was worth it... And I'm a cheap bastard.

Graber, is the NGR the same as the one pictured further up? If not, can you post a pic or a link please?

Yes it is. I ordered the Carbon Fiber rimmed one. Here you can see the internal mechanism a little clearer. It is missing 2 bearings so that you can
insert it in only one position. Has two electrical contact pass-throughs for the horn.

Nice looking bit of kit.
It looks like you missed a bit when you were sanding.

I hope you dont mind hijacking this thread.
Ive just been getting a 'snap off' quick release mechanism and SWM wheel (£0). Originally it was fitted to a Pug 205 so the hub adaptor
that fits onto the column is a spline/taper type. Does anyone know if the hub adaptors can be bought seperatly and where from to suit the Sierra
column??
I havent been given the Pug 205 hub adaptor yet as its stuck onto the column. Hopefully when it arrives ill try and see if it will modify or weld onto
the Sierra column (hope its not ally!). Does anyone know if an alternative hub adaptor woll allow the snap off ring to fit?
Is the 'snap off' kit SVA approved? (same as the one in mangro.....'s pictures).
Thanks for your help,
Darren.

you can get bosses from most places, but all are about £35 and made from cast ally, so no welding possible
halfords should have mountney m range ones, and iirc the part no is k18xx
