Driftworks, mate.
That\'s where I got my HKB boss kit and snapoff hub from.
Snug fit and very solid build.

Whatever you do, DON\'T get a cheap/eBay one - you\'ll curse it after it develops play when you\'ve used it twice.
I\'m going NRG when I\'ve got a bit of cash. You really do get what you pay for with snap off bosses.

another one for the driftworks one, never let me down and bringing the wheel 60mm closer to me gave me more legroom (im 6ft3)

I ordered an NRG one about a week ago which should be with me shortly :) (In customs at the moment, so probably another two weeks :2Rolleyes).

Look good quality off what I\'ve seen. Like SiH said though, do not buy one off eBay - some horrendous quality ones on there!

Ideally you need to have a double locking system.  Personally I would go for one of either the SPA ones or a lifeline one.
