snap off steering wheel
Can you get them through the IVA or is it an item to be fitted afterwards?

I've heard different stories. I wouldn't say it's a definate 'NO', but subject to interpretation.
If you look at my previous post re. Mountney snap-off steering wheel adaptor, you'll be able to see what I'm using.
I'll be classing it as an additional anti-theft device/immobiliser amongst other things.
My understanding is that for IVA you can't be able to remove the steering wheel whilst the engine is running. By locking the wheel in place and
having the key on the same ring as the ignition key (maybe a spot weld on the metal to show it can't be separated), you should have no
problem.
That and the fact I might have lost the original Sierra steering wheel.... 
As I see it, it's a similar arguement to the teathered fuel cap arguement, to ensure that you can't drive off and leave the filler cap
behind....
Safety first, and all that jazz!

No issues with mine either - I think they only have a problem if the wheel could easily be detached whilst in motion
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

This is why some testers aren't so keen though.

Ok, can anyone recommend a good reliable brand? As ever I don't want to spend a fortune if I don't have to, but it's not the place
to be saving pennies by buying Chinese!

Keep a lookout for the older style Mountney snap-off one. It's lockable, unlike most modern ones.
I hurried it through and bought cheap, and sent it back. Keep your eyes peeled on eBay, this forum, WSCC, and simiilar ones - something will come
up.
Remember the snap-off section isn't specific to vehicle like the boss is, just the PCD of the steering wheel holes, so if someone's
offering one as removed from a different vehicle, don't be put off!

looking thru previous posts a lot of them seem to need welded to the column. Ideally id like something to go between a normal boss and the wheel and
not require the column to be butchered?

Try

That's the one to go for, no doubt. They do crop up occasionally, but snap it up!

Ill leave it just now but I assume that goes between a normal boss and an aftermarket wheel? is the 6 bolt fitting on wheels a standard PCD or not?

Standard 6 bolt hole alignment, suits Mountney M-range wheels. Unsure about the classic range. Goes between boss and wheel, but be warned - I was
told that Momo and Mountney use the same hole pattern/alignment, but when I got my new boss realised they didn't. I've now got to
re-drill 6 new holes and tap them accordingly, which although annoying, isn't overly difficult.
Apologies if I let the cat out of the bag for some!
