Steering wheel boss


uk89camaro

Recommended Posts

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.

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:

Contact DAVE O, on here. He used to make an alloy boss extension. HTH.

Have exchanged a couple of PM's with Dave, just waiting to hear if he does one for my model (unknown) of boss.

Got a local engineering company to knock me one up, works a treat

This is my plan B

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What sort of manufacturing can you do? May have a little task/challange if you fancy it? (Obviously happy to pay a fee)
