Mucus72 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I want to bring my steering wheel (Momo QR) closer to my chest, and I have adjusted the steering rod for maximum length, but still need a little more adjustment. So I bought one of these: http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/steering-wheel-bosses-accessories/b-g-racing-steering-wheel-spacers-3-boltat the same time I bought 3 new anodised black counter sunk M6 hex bolts in a longer length to fit the same nylon nuts as original set up. Annoyingly the diameter of the holes is slightly less than 6mm. Im in two minds. Do I drill the holes out ever so slightly (0.5mm) or is there a better off the shelf spacer that any of you guys are aware of please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted March 23, 2017 Member Share Posted March 23, 2017 They are going to be clamped in compression and there's no shear force around the holes? I'd open them up.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revilla Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I'd vote with Jonathan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elie boone Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Dunno how much your spacer is but if it's not enough i have a 70mm spacer drilled for a Momo steering wheel. It has been used for 1 year of track days so proven to be solid. If you want i can send a Pic. The basis was this spacer http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/steering-wheel-bosses-accessories/b-g-racing-alloy-steering-wheel-spacers-6-bolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucus72 Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 There were 4 depth options Elie, and I went with 38mm. I will take the advice of JK and Andrew first, and see how it goes drilling. I may come back to you and ask the favour of a photo if it all goes pear shaped. I see your option comes in varying depths so if you got it working then it's an option...thanks to all 3 of you. I will report back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucus72 Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 I drilled the spacer and it all worked beautifully. First drive of the year with the steering wheel in a much better position. Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
