i am looking at getting a snap off steering wheel for that extra piece of mind when parked up, however i'm not 100% on what i am looking for!
I have a mountney Steering wheel and hub attached to a sierra column. Should I be looking at one of these (link at bottom) or is there something else
i should be looking at? does anybody else have the same set up as me and have a snap off wheel? Unfortunately i don't have the luxury of a welder
so a bolt on is preferable!
ONE OF THESE!
Cheers
what pcd is your wheel? it will either be 100mm or 70mm. just be careful it will fit.
that one in the link is very expensive!!!!

Click on SPA design and then Quick Release Hubs
We got one of these, can't remember where I bought it from but it's been on now for 4 years and the car lives outside (no garage) with no
signs of rust.
Can't say if it's any good for IVA though.

just to add, no need for IVA but would need to be road legal
thanks
ah and the other thing is i have a horn! (ooo er!) do these snap off's work with horns!??
I bought one from the states a couple of years ago for about £65 , it's the locking ball type, it has the horn connections too.
Wouldnt be without it now, Stering Wheel looks good hanging on the wall at home.

Fitted pic , but it was not a straight take wheel off and bolt it on , as i needed to modify a boss.

Check out the new Mountney addition if you're still interested in a quick release steering wheel. They sell an adaptor for circa £50 which fits
between the wheel and boss, and has 2 release pins.
I looked at the official snap-off boss, but it retails at about £140 from Demon Tweeks and applications are limited. Despite being key lockable
(great if you don't want to take it off all the time), the whole Mountney setup; wheel/boss/release combo costs less than the snap-off unit.
Worth a look, if nothing else!
