Quick release steering boss?
I need to move my steering wheel closer, so I'm considering a quick release boss.
I'm worried that if I just use a spacer that I won't be able to get in easily.
Can anybody recommend a good quick release boss without spending a fortune?
I looked on eBay but there are so many different ones at so many different prices.
Steering column is from an Allegro.
Cheers

I have one of the lockable snap-off ones for sale. Missing the horn connector though so you'd either need to make up the adaptor plate or have a
horn button off the steering wheel.
This is the type I use on my car, it seems pretty good. You always need a key to remove it so it can't come off accidentally, and there's
no slop in the mechanism.

I'm also looking for a lockable where did you get yours from? Do you have any pictures?
Many thanks

That's interesting. I've not seen one of those. Do you have a picture you could send me?

Interesting, but not quite what I'm looking for as it only gives 30mm extension and I'd also be worried that my wheel is a bit too small
so I might catch my fingers on the sticky out bits.
Also thinking about it, as I want to remove the wheel for getting in and out, having a lock may be a bit of a pain.
Any other recommendations of quick release bosses worth considering (without breaking the bank)?
Cheers

I think Rally Design do one, and they tend to be quite competitive.

I've got a Snap off one as well. Mine was £60 from Halfords. It works very well and seems well made.

Was looking at these at Stoneleigh, seemed very well made, no movement in the mechanism at all. They were
only £35 too, knew I should have bought one

I really liked the feel and quality of this one: http://www.plays-kool.co.uk/acatalog/WorksBell.html
Tried it at stoneleigh. The ball bearing ones are supposed to eliminate play too. The spline ones will go bad pretty quick.

That's nice but more than I really wanted to pay.
