Seems a bit cheap to me but hopefully im wrong
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

It must be ok - the ad says that they use them on F1 cars 
Isn't that the type that can appear to be on correctly but that can come off and cause crashes?

hahaha, i some what doubt it, i was lucky enought to have a look at the cockpit of one once and as far a i know the one i saw looked like the
lifeline splined quick release
LIKE THESE ONES HERE
The hex ones are prone to play, personally i would go for a splined one.
just my 2p's worth
I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!

The original boss on the first link is the same as the one i had. The wheel came of at 70mph and i wrote my car off. I suggest staying away from it.
It has no way of noting the wheel is latched on. It on has oe small point of contacr to keep it on and being hex it fits on 6 different ways. I
strongly suggest anybody wanting a boss not to buy this style.
See my previous posts if you dont believe me!
My 2p worth!
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Having seen the pics of your car, il stay away. Im not specifically after a QR hub, just something cheaper tahn the £70 ones iv seen specifically for
my steering column.

Check my previous posts, but I'd recommend a Mountney Snap-off boss any day of the week over the QR ones.
They're no longer made, but trawl eBay and they do turn up on more of a regular beat now. They are lockable, so the wheel can't just
'accidentally' fall off.
I got a new one on the 'bay for £70 delivered, and they're universal, so you'll need a steering boss to suit the column. If you
can't find one on eBay, u2u me as I know someone who has a 2nd hand one complete for sale delivered for £80. Not the cheapest I know, but worth
every penny over the newer, cheaper models.

its good quality and once engaged you cant release it without the key.

Yep, they're one and the same!
Best option by far if you want a removable steering wheel.
