Hello, I'm getting the steering parts next for my kit car but unsure what's accepted in the sva
Are quick release sva passable?
Do you need a collapsible boss or column ?
What's the minimum size of steering wheel?
If you have 2 uj joints in the column do you need a collapsible column or boss?
Many thanks
quick release are ok mine was not sure about the rest
Section 14 in here:

The problem with a QR as I understand it, is that you lose the collapsible boss such as you'd get with a momo or whatever. The manual is worded
a bit strangely, as usual, but from my reading of Annex 1 in section 14 they are expecting
An offset between the steering column and the input shaft of the steering rack or box
A telescopic intermediate shaft
A collapsible element in the upper column
Steering wheel construction - It is vital that the wheel is constructed so as to minimise the risk of facial injuries or concussion.
No minimum size of wheel, I have a 280mm which is pretty small, and that was fine. Bear in mind that the smaller the wheel, the smaller the exempt
area behind it for projections...
Sounds good too me, thanks
