I've got a Lifeline Gp.N one. Its double the price but for peace of mind i know it won't fail on me in a 200mph turn :shock:

I already had a Momo boss and steering wheel so this fitted straight in but I'd imagine any aftermarket pulsar boss would work

I've just got one of these (because of this recomendation) and it's pretty solid, really snaps into place.

they posted it out quickly cos i ordered it monday and got it today

 

[stevepudney]

Yes, they are quite good, I bought one for 2 reasons...............

one for the security piece of mind thing and more importantly at the time I was looking at different ways of fitting a drivers bucket seat as low as possible and although not a lot this QR boss allowed the steering wheel to come back just far enough to allow the seat to be mounted a bit more behind the cross bar thing in the floor, thus (when sitting in my seat) my arse was about 40mm closer to the ground than it was in the standard seating position, so much so that I had to mod the already adjustable steering column to allow the steering wheel to come down more, very pleased with the end result............

it was so good I thought I'd strip the car for bits :doh:

[olliecast]

ah aswell,
stumo, how much further does this boss position the wheel back?
less or more than 60mm as here?:
