whats the latest on removable steering wheels?
Last I heard some testers were failing cars for this, but I can't see anything in the IVA manual about unless Im looking in the wrong place.
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list-- I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed-- who never would be missed!

Speak to bi22le. He crashed his when the removable steering wheel came off at speed.
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

The definitely fail if they can be removed while the engine is working.
It used to be possible to achieve that by using a locking boss and welding a ring with the ignition and boss keys so they couldn't be used at
the same time. Maybe that's now not considered suitable.
It always was safest is to fit after the test.

Not that we like to make sure everyone knows, and that he is constantly reminded of it...... 
I love the way that there are some things that crop up even if it is a completely irrelevant point!!!

Did somebody mention wheel bosses,
I scroll down and yep I'm mentioned!!
Still if my accident even stops one person forgetting to check their wheel after a days work then I don't mind people mentioning it.
I can smile about it Now anyway because I love my new car!
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

I wouldnt say it was completely irrelevant. It made me change my mind about a removable steering wheel.
