Bolt-on steering wheel adapters

[DavidM]

I'm building out a new 240 tub and need to do something for the steering wheel. The current car has a quick release nub welded onto the steering shaft. I was thinking of just going the bolt-on route with the new car. Are there any issues with the bolt-on adapters? Are they easy to get straight? Anything else to be aware of? [Note: This isn't a thread to discuss the legality of the weld-on hubs]

There's a sparco steering wheel quick release for sale in the classifieds that I was thinking of getting. It's the splined kind vs the hexagon kind. Sparco makes bolt-on adapters for the 240SX and the thought was to get one of those and use it with the quick release.

Thanks.

The sparco quick release is the way to go. It is splined in such a way that you can only put the wheel on "correctly". I believe that is called "key splined", but I am sure someone will admonish me as to the proper term.

The one Louis sells thru LTBMotorsports is really nice too. Had one on the old car and another on the new car. Pretty sure it's cheaper than the Sparco option too.

+1 for the unit from LTB, I've had it in two cars now and really like it.

Another + for the LTB unit! Love it!

Hi Dave,

As the seller of the Sparco Quick Release, I can say that the Sparco unit has ZERO play, and most other bolt-on units have play and will only get worse after use.

But in all fairness, some drivers just don't mind the steering wheel play (NOT ME!).
