Is anyone using a D1 snap off boss kit ?
http://www.d1specusa.com/servlet/the-3/Steering-Wheel-Quick-Release-dsh-/Detail
Are they any good or is there a better alternative ? I havent decided between a Nardi or a Momo wheel yet but I fancied a snap off boss. Do these bosses mount straight to the FD or do I need the corresponding Momo/Nardi boss in between ?
Cheers

It looks pretty similar to mine, it does have to mount onto an existing momo/sparco etc.. boss. But they are compatible with almost all hubs.
I bought one from driftworks http://www.driftworks.com/catalog/products/driftworks-60mm-race-quick-release-steering-spacer.html probably cheaper than the one youre looking at.
I\'d recommend them, very good quality and no play at all.
It will move the steering wheel about 6cm closer to you, which you might want to keep in mind if you are going for a dished steering wheel.
hope that helps!
iv got a momo steering wheel...i wouldnt mind one of these just for security btu how easy is it to fit and use? they dont have a habit of falling off do they lol

cheeky plug - i\'ve got one exactly the same as the driftworks one, but with an anodised blue ring - unused, unfitted - £50 posted?

Really easy to fit and use, its as straightforward as putting in 12 screws and connecting some wires for the horn. Comes with all the wires and fitting hardware you need.
It definitely won\'t fall off! mine is solid as a rock :yes
To take it off you keep the little button pressed in and pull the locking sleeve towards you (the gold/anodised blue thing). To reattach it, put the wheel back on and give it a little "jiggle". The sleeve litterally snaps shut locking the ball bearings into place.
Its one of those things once you see it in use you\'ll understand how it works!
Ive got one aswell. Really well made peice of kit no play and feels really strong. Well worth the money.

+1 for the DW one. Very nice piece of kit
actually realised i can do it for £45 posted. brand new, with all connectors.

Well, i\'m usin one as well - been brilliant so far - no probs at all.
As to whether it will fit stock, without the momo boss, i can\'t say - my car came with the momo boss+wheel fitted by the previous owner. Fitting the D1 was a piece of cake tho, baring the horn button (mine\'s worn, and has a habit of popping out)

ok im definatley guna invest in one...youve all sold it to me lol
Out of interest anyone using this boss, are you running flat wheels or dished ? I\'m worried that with a Momo boss, then the snap off boss and then having a dished wheel will mean it will be right up in my face ?
Hmmm
I\'m running a pretty flat wheel (maybe 1cm dish)
That said, I\'ve got the momo boss and the snap-off, and i\'ve brought an extra 50mm spacer to bring the wheel closer - and 50mm is looking like it might be a bit too much - 20mm might have been better. Then again, I sit with the seat at the back of the extended seat runners (long legs), so I can just about get away with it.
The snapp-off is approx the same as a 50mm spacer, i think (car has been in the shop for so long i\'ve forgotten what parts of it look like :D)
I\'m a long legged (6\'2") fat bellied extended seat runner driver too. I was looking at the Momo drifting wheel but im worried the 90mm dish might be a bit too much with the snap off boss aswell. Maybe I\'ll just order it and then so without the snap off if its too much.
I did like the look of the Nardi Corn wheels but cant find one for a decent price over here, dont wanna be spending over £200 on a steering wheel :2eek

I will post pics in a couple of days once i put the interior back together and with me sitting in it so you can see it compared to me.
I got it from these guys i did wait 4 weeks to come from omp in italy but when i saw the date of manufacture (05/09) it looks like its made to order.

I use the Works Bell one.. VERY high quality and approved by the Japanese "MOT" Quite a few colors to pick from and other nice extras.
Ok so i have bought a snap off hub http://www.driftworks.com/catalog/pr...ng-spacer.html (http://www.driftworks.com/catalog/products/driftworks-60mm-race-quick-release-steering-spacer.html) but the instructions came through in japanese...does anyone have the english instructions or is there a how to thread on here so i can fit it?
