Yes universal as long the same brand i.e. SPA won't fit Lifeline or Raceparts

Wow…. my assumption was based on otherwise, as you describe, it somewhat defeats the benefit of them as a security device!

Well you are relying on the scum bag having a lifeline boss steering wheel.........

True…  not sure of a scrote’s toolkit for nicking cars but you’re right, it’s a reasonable risk that they won’t have an appropriate wheel, even if the bosses are universal!

That is incorrect & a dangerous assumption, I have another
LifeLine boss and it is, very slightly larger than the Caterham LifeLine top column

When I wanted a new boss for a second wheel I found the standard boss from Lifeline is 180 degrees out compared with the Caterham supplied one. I had to buy a new boss and top shaft from CC. It could well be a boss directly from lifeline might have different splines too. 
Both my Caterham supplied bosses fit the original shaft in the same orientation; I still have the spare shaft. 
I always assumed it was another CC deal to stop suppliers supplying customers directly.
