I was looking into having a quick release steering wheel.
Currently aleady have an aftermarket boos and steering wheel in place. What i am unsure of is it a question of buying just the quick release boss or are there proper kits for the MR out there ?
Quiet like this, but unsure of compatability etc

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Quick release
The cheap ones are steering wheel bolt pattern specific, i.e. momo, sparco etc. Note that they can add 2-4" of column length, meaning you'll have less room, and you won't be able to reach the lights and wiper stalks like you used to.
The expensive, "professional" ones are universal and weld onto the column, and add virtually nothing to the length of the column.

Works Bell do a generic Toyota short steering wheel boss to be used with their Rapfix quick release.

I have a quick release steering wheel fitted to mine - way better than carrying a Krooklock lol
Its made by snapoff - its only 10 mm thick - and very good quality.
The only problem is finding a supplier - they are hard to get hold of...

I also have the Snap off quick release steering hub attached to a Momo steering wheel. Recommended
Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Quick release
I purchased my Snap Off and Momo from Demon Tweeks, although it is not the cheapest of places.

You gotta link to the snap off on demon tweeks please, I can't find it?
Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Quick release
Sorry mate I can't find it either. Looks like they stopped selling it. I bought mine a few years ago.

Here's a video of the Snap Off. Watch from 1:13 onwards for a demo of how it works.

No they are secure mine has been on my cars since the early 90's, had different boss's and wheels but the same snap off. You can lock them on as well if wanted.
Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Quick release
Does anyone have any experience with the NRG short hub (getnrg.com/products/quick-release-kits/short-hub/srk-120h)? It specifies compatibility with 90-93 models but shouldn't it fit all up to rev 5??
