Title: Quick release steering wheels
Post by: Sam on 01 May 2010, 21:36

Are they legal and are they recommended? I quite like the idea of parking up at the dodgy end of cleethorpes to go to work and not have to worry about my car because my steering wheel and headunit face are sat under my desk.

sounds like a cracking idea tbh, but would you loose the air bag?

It's actually the boss, not the steering wheel itself. So pick your steering wheel (not an airbag filled one), fit the parts together and roberts your mothers brother :)

I've heard quite good things about these ones (http://www.lifeline-fire.co.uk/quickrelease/steeringboss.asp)
