Jimmy Two-Jacks Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Hi All, I am toying with the idea of replacing my removable steering wheel with a 15” fixed proper fitment steering wheel as the removable one sits too high in fact under one of my smaller chins I know they can be modified and all that but I don’t think I would trust a welded joint (funny to think how many welds we trust our life to each day ) My original reason for fitting the removable wheel was purely for security but I know one day I am going to bump into something and get a wheel size dent in the sternum. My question is would a proper Thatcham approved disk-lok be almost as secure as the removable wheel? I know if they want it they will take it but perhaps if its difficult they might not bother.I would use it in conjunction with an Adrenaline pedal box and the other unmentionable tricky bits and bobs.. Thoughts? J2J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Tbh I think a disk lok (the type that cover the whole wheel) would be far better than the removable wheel, removable wheel means no wheel, not can't turn steering, disk lok means can't turn steering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Two-Jacks Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 Well done it got rid of the quick release wheel and fitted a new 15" Mountney wheel and its much easier to drive than with the tiny 13" removable wheel under my chin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruntus Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I discovered the same thing after fitting the removal steering wheel then putting the seats in for my project! Fortunately for me I was fitting different seats anyway (Audi 80) which sit well back (I have a bulkhead removal bar as well) giving me plenty of room. Can post piccies if it helps anyone.
