uk89camaro Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Trying to get the arm/leg reach comfortable, and would really like an extra couple of inches on the steering wheel reach. (I have a pop off wheel.) Where might I look for a boss that either replaces mine, or creates an extension to it? Cheers. Quote
Jenko Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Probably not much help, but I don't think anyone sells extensions (idea for a good product anyone???). I got my old man to knock me one up on his lathe..Works perfectly with my racetec boss: 1 Quote
Nic Chase (NICO) - Shropshire & Mid-Wales AO Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Contact DAVE O, on here. He used to make an alloy boss extension. HTH. Quote

Doug Dastardly Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 I was advised by the factory to get the shaft extended after IVA, but I probably prefer the idea of an extended boss as it can be put back to standard for people that are not freakishly tall should I ever sell. Will be watching this discussion with interest. Quote
FILFAN Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 If you don't have any luck I could knock one up for you. My fees would be price of materials plus beer. You would have to bring the car to me though. Would only take a couple of hours. Quote

I got my old man to knock me one up on his lathe..Works perfectly with my racetec boss: I managed to find a local shop to do me one very similar to that. (I couldn't find anyone that sold an extension with a PCD of around 38mm. I found someone that supplied a 38 to 70mm PCD adaptor, but with my indicators and horn built in I didn't want the extra work and expense.) Hence the deeper top of the extension, as it contains the leccy bits. Cost £35 in stainless. Quote
robo1968 Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Demon Tweeks do them here Boss Spacer Quote
uk89camaro Posted November 23, 2011 Author Posted November 23, 2011 Demon Tweeks do them here Boss Spacer I don't think they do one with a 38mm PCD. Would be interested to see a link to one.... ......and it really doesn't matter as I have a bespoke one for less than an off the shelf item. Quote
robo1968 Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 uk89camaro - you know you said you knew somewhere where they do a 38 - 70mm pcd adaptor? Could you post a link where that is? My wheel is very much like yours. Quote

(Obviously happy to pay a fee) Quote
