[L14MNP]

You can buy the bona fide weld on jobs for that much.

That bag is the gayest thing I have ever seen.
Imagine walking in your local pub with that in your hand.

[chrisd1986]

I'd be so embarassed.












I hope that's not his house. The chimney is desperate to be pointed.

[L14MNP]

Bla bla bla

Is that a new breed of little dog to go inside your bag?

[conad]

Sorry to hijack.... But does THIS (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=281104460888&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en) look any good to you guys? Not really sure what I'm looking for when it comes to these.

[chrisd1986]

I seen them but i thought it looked cheep and nasty

[conad]

Yeah thats what I'm worried about, what makes a good 1 good then?

[bazzap8389]

Dan, I could be the guinea pig and buy the cheap one lol if it's sh1te I'll let you know lol

[bazzap8389]

Can't complain getting the bag for **** all chris I just seen it for £15 when searching for the snap off kit

[conad]

You've got more money than most of us so you can afford to experiment lol
You getting one are ya? I like the idea of the slimline one.... Not as much to cut out the boss.

Dan, I could be the guinea pig and buy the cheap one lol if it's sh1te I'll let you know lol

[bazzap8389]

Do I? lol

What do you mean cut out the boss? I'll easy buy it to try it out sure it should do the job nicely

[conad]

You work on offshore stuff, and nights.... Your wadded lol
I want to shorten the steering wheel boss so I can keep the wheel as close to original position as possible.
When you getting it then?

[bazzap8389]

Haha

Ah right got ya, I'll order it up today when I'm home from work :)

[chrisd1986]

Im cutting mine down as much as i can to get it nice and close to the dash

[conad]

Haha

Good man!


Im cutting mine down as much as i can to get it nice and close to the dash

Great minds think alike eh lol

[chrisd1986]

Before i fitted the snap off it annoyed me and ive seen it done before. Im gona get my cousin to do it next week for me will post up pics

[Mark]

Why didn't you just buy a specific boss with built in snap off instead of going to the lengths of cutting it down then?

[conad]

It won't take me long, and playing with metal is what I do best... Plus it saves me money lol

[Mark]

Okay.

[8valve-craig]

Yeah thats what I'm worried about, what makes a good 1 good then?

A good one will have a splined fitting and be made out of quality metal / alloy.

The ones with the pins or ball bearings inevitably have play in them, some more so than others.

For a road car on a budget i would reccomend the Brown and Geeson at about £90, although for outright quality only the Lifeline one will do.

Mine is a weld on one which wont be to everyones taste. but it eliminates the Boss which can be an advantage in some cars.

[conad]

Oooh I really don't like the idea of a weld on one... But THIS (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GOLD-SNAP-OFF-QUICK-RELEASE-STEERING-WHEEL-BOSS-KIT-HUB-RALLY-RACING-GROUP-N-/290923095878?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item43bc5e2746) is the best of both worlds.

[Iain]

How's that the best of both worlds? That plus a normal boss would bring the wheel forward quite a bit.

[conad]

Because it's a splined quick release but doesn't involve welding to the column. I would try shortening the boss anyway.

[chrisd1986]

The ones above and tbe other weld on type are ok for a track car but they are just aslong as what we already have and them shiney gold things would look daft in my nova imo

[L14MNP]

Weld-on ftw. It's not much hassle to remove the column on a car, and do it right.

Best way imo.

[MK999]

Best way indeed but it does depend what you're doing with the car. While I'll definitely be doing that for the nova I very much doubt I'd attempt it if I ever wanted one on the BMW.

And I did consider it because a snap off kit is less than a steering wheel lol

[chrisd1986]

Im only fitting one for extra security for mine

[scott.parker]

I got one off eBay the other day, a proper old snap off like Chris's, this one came with hub boss, and a cheap polly steering wheel £50 delivered lol

[chrisd1986]

Another boss like mine came on last night with a 99p start bid, messaged him and got it for £25 posted

So you've got 2 now.... Hog lol

[chrisd1986]

Yup but ive got another wheel somwere so i can have a choice lol

[scott.parker]

You ******* lol I was watching that, wondered where it had gone, wanna swap? I wanted it for the facts it's lockable, mines got no lock.

[chrisd1986]

Haha, nope i sold my other one because it had no lock on it.
