i am going to be fitting an after market steering wheel and snap off boss, i have heard mixed things.  the person i bought the boss off seems to think i dont need a boss (momo or simular), the quick release will just go straight on to the stock rx7 boss.  
i was under the impression that i would need to get a momo boss thren bolt the quickrelease to that, then the wheel to the quick release.

the silver boss in the pic is one that came with my boss (it is cracked) as an example but apparently it is a stock rx7 one, can anyone confirm this?  cause if it is then the quick release should simply bolt to the one in my car.  

the black part is the end of the quick release that needs to attach to a boss.  

hope that aint too complicated, thanks in advance for any help

I don\'t think that is stock Rex boss.

It is very easy to change.  You can get bosses off ebay, although I would test it first for fit.  5 min job to remove the old wheel  and try that.
