Any thoughts on the effectiveness? I've never seen one up close so I can't tell a whole lot about it. I already have a Grant Formula 1 wheel and can get this lock cheap.

Nice adapter, Alan! We just put our QD in our firebird. Took three tries!! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif)

I finally discovered we had to pull the lockring out to get the QD to latch on the hub (our pimp-daddy CP Firebird is fully-optioned with tilt wheel). After having to _pull_ the splined hub off the car a couple of times, I had to dress the splines so the QD would go on and off smoothly. Now that it is on, it is very nice. It would have been nice for the thing to have come with _some_ instructions.

I've been using the Summit GM splined QD with good results - I do some minor trimming of the shroud for finger clearance. The aluminum disc that ties wheel to QD needs a 1" hole in the center for clearance to the big nut (locktited) on the end of the column. I get the QD working free enough that it snaps in place securely, and lube the splines lightly.

There is a video clip floating around the intarweb of Justin Hall exiting T11 at Laguna, and the steering wheel pops off...mighty distracting for most folks.
