Hi guys. I did some searching and couldn't find quite what I was looking for, although this post came close - particularly the useful information provided by Andrew Fordyce:
OEM Steering Wheels
I have decided that my car will have a quick-release steering wheel as a safety feature to facilitate ingress/egress and as a theft deterrent. The quick release will use spline drive rather than a hex drive, and ring release rather than pin release. It will also be as short as possible. Hershal had recommended that I look into the products made by these guys but their bolt pattern is for Momo and Sparco wheels and isn't available for 9-hole Moto Lita bolt pattern.
By the way, maybe I misrepresented the Moto-Lita bolt pattern to these guys in my email. My steering wheel has three pieces: (1) the wheel itself, which is attached to (2) an aluminum hub with 9 cap screws, and (3) a steel adapter with female splines which mates with the steering column on one side and which attaches on the other side to the aluminum hub via 6 cap screws. When I talk to a vendor of quick disconnects, do I give them the 9-hole bolt circle or do I give them the 6-hole bolt circle? Am I mis-naming any of the steering wheel parts?
The link that Andrew provided in the OEM steering wheel post does not work. Both Demon Tweeks and SUmmit offer a variety of quick disconmnects but I don't know which one, if any, will work best with my RF-supplied column and Moto-Lita wheel. Do I need to ask Frank Catt to machine a special adapter for my setup? Thanks in advance for any recommendations you may have.
