Anyone have an guidance on a steering wheel adapter (possibly quick release) for a sparco 345 suede wheel?

Also what oil cooler setup are most of you guys running? Do you feel it necessary to run any other coolers as well (tranny, diff etc)?

Thanks in advance.

I sell this splined, bolt on QD, and fab the 3bolt to 6bolt adapter:

Except now I'm drilling more holes in the adapter and countersinking the 3 bolts flush, like this:

You'll lose the airbag. If you have a horn button with your wheel, I can make a spacer so it fits, you will need to wire an electrical tether for it.

What quick disconnect do you use when using a stock Column in a 4th gen? I contacted you on a price for the quick disconnect and adapter a while back, but I was curious as to what is all there for hardware. Thank you.

This is the QD I sell for the OEM column: The splined part slips onto the column and is retained by a nut, much like the OEM wheel. Then the black aluminum hub slips over the splined part and locks in place with the spring loaded ring. It has a standard 3 bolt pattern that accepts a circle track style wheel directly. In order to use a 6 bolt wheel (Momo/Sparco/Personal/etc) I also offer a 3bolt to 6bolt adapter - the silver aluminum piece that is pictured installed on the hub.

The QD hub includes the splined part, a nut, the hub and 3 screws. The 3-6bolt adapter includes 3 flathead screws and 6 stainless flathead screws for attaching the wheel.

I am also a Momo dealer, the model 78 in 330mm or 350mm in black suede is the most popular model for a race car. For a street car, driven with bare hands, I recommend a smooth leather wheel, the Momo Monte Carlo is the pick there.

Some of us just love the feel/control of suede so much that we use those wheels even for the street.

YES, it will get matted down, and end up smooth anyway if you drive it bare handed.

I try to avoid this by using suede gloves, even on the street, and even in the summer, much to the ridicule and consternation/embarrassment of my kids. I also take a brass/stainless brush to it at least once a week, which seems to help a lot. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
