I had a Momo steering wheel with NRG quick release 2.5 and short hub adapter. I ended up selling it and buying a stock wheel. I'll check to see if I have any pics of it installed.

I'm using the Tekniq Street Snap-Off with their hub and adapter to Momo bolt pattern with an OMP wheel. Very well made and can be locked.

 

[Brunoboy]

thanks guys, for the teknig one, which kit is it? I already have a 6 bolt steering wheel

 

[RayH]

If you already have a hub for a Momo, than I think you only need the Snap-Off for a Momo steering wheel. If you don't have a hub and are going to use it for a Momo/OMP/Sparco wheel then you need to get their hub kit for a Mitsubishi, the Snap-Off for a Tekniq wheel and then their adapter from Tekniq to Momo bolt pattern. If you're getting their hub you might want to check to see if they have a Snap-Off with the Tekniq bolt pattern on the hub side and Momo pattern on the wheel side allowing you to skip the adapter.

I got a cheap "D1 spec" brand quick release to fit between the momo boss and the momo wheel, have used it every day for several years and it's mint, no play at all.

 

[Brunoboy]

ok thanks, and whats D1 spec?

 

[H05TYL]

D1spec is the brand name, I've seen very similar/identical items for sale under a bunch of different names, but the quality appears to be good.

 

[Brunoboy]

it bolts right up?

 

[H05TYL]

Yup, it bolts straight to a 6 bolt momo boss, and straight to a momo 6 bolt wheel.
It also comes with 6 allen head bolts (to attach it to the boss) and you use the original 6 bolts to attach the wheel to the other half of the QR.
Note it actually has 12 holes, in two different pcd's, so it will fit both momo and nardi steering wheels/boss kits.

To release it you need to push in the silver button and slide the ring back towards the steering wheel, this releases the 10 ball bearings that hold the wheel in place - it takes both hands to do, so it's not likely to come off by accident.

Thanks, I will be ordering this asap.

I used the NRG on the Evo and it wobbled after a few releases. I switched to a fixed slim hub instead and called it a day.

 

H05TYL, any pics o fthat hub installed on your car? How far out did it bring the wheel? It looks pretty thick.

 

[H05TYL]

Just went and took some, the QR adds 2.5" (75mm) between the boss and the steering wheel, personally I found this a good thing. With the lowness of this seat I could really do with the steering column coming down another few inches also.

 

[Brunoboy]

Well i just ordered mine, it was $85 plus 20 shipping, so 105$ shipped to my door. Silver carbon fiber or Black Carbon Fiber. I will take pics when I get it. Thanks guys
