Can I Buy a Shallow Escort Steering Boss?
Antnicuk - 9/5/11 at 10:24 PM

I have bought a snap off boss which bolts to the existing boss but this makes the steering wheel too close to me. The existing boss attached to the column is 3 inches deep, maybe more? if i could get a shallower boss to bolt to the column, i could use my snap off boss but having browsed the net, i cant seem to find anything.

The column is mk2 escort, i know sierra is a triangle column which is different but i dont know what other cars has the splined MK2 escort type column.

any help appreciated

Can you fit a 'proper' snap off boss? One that is pinned and welded to the column rather than using another boss to attach to.

Just a thought

There are low profile snap off bosses (about 25mm IIRC) available on eBay - I was considering one to make things easier getting in & out of the car.

* edit - like this one QUICK RELEASE STEERING WHEEL HUB BOSS KIT | eBay UK

i already the quick release boss which is a bolt on one so i would rather not change it for a weld on one. If it could just find a shallow conventional one to go on the spline then i could use it.
