NeilCSR Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Looked at all sorts of options, haven't found anything that allows a QR wheel / Boss on a Swoopy Dash CSR.Could extend the column but that would bring the wheel too close (closer already than a normal flat dash layout).Has anyone managed to find a viable option? Don't mind losing the centre-push horn, any ideas?Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team Shortshift Posted August 13, 2020 Leadership Team Share Posted August 13, 2020 Neil - I think this has been done by someone in the past. Have you tried the 'Google Site Search' button at the top of the page, or maybe it was on the (now, sadly neglected) csrinforme forum?But even if it is doable, I think you'll find that the wheel will be pushed significantly rearwards into the cabin unless you are prepared to sacrifice the column mounted stalks and switches.I'll be watching to see how you get on!James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadership Team Shortshift Posted August 13, 2020 Leadership Team Share Posted August 13, 2020 Neil - here you go, from csrinforme: detachable wheel with swoopy dashYou'll probably find that some of the posts within the thread are missing (such is the state of that forum now) but it may be of help.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilCSR Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 Thanks for the advice, I'd seen the old csrinforme mod but wondered if since then anyone had come across anything that didn't require welding of the column - there are quite a few different QR systems around now and maybe one of these could be adaptable without too much modification.I changed the Momo (but using same boss) to a smaller (260mm) thick suede Mota-Lita, great and comfortable wheel which makes getting in/out with hood up a bit easier but not as much as a QR. The standard boss is quite deep and I'm sure it would be possible to fit a QR boss (probably losing the push horn and likely self-cancelling as well) and retain the distance.Maybe one does exist - possibly one that Caterham offered once and have long since dropped, but I haven't found it yet. Keep looking....Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elie boone Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 It would help if you know what car it came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilCSR Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 Agreed...... But there have been vague references over the years so probably stuff of legend. And maybe a personally-modded car, several owners down the line thinking it was a factory mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elie boone Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 This is a 30mm QR piece, looks well made https://www.i-mania.be/universeel-billet-aluminum-thin-versie-auto-steering-wheel-quick-release-kit-met-security-lock-voor-modified-en-racing-car.html?fee=6&fepIf you don't want the extra 30mm added to your boss you could have the original turned down and have a plate welded to it to accept this QR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
