I really like a quick release. Handy for a lot of things: Cleaning, under dash work, security. Just a nice add on, IMO. But, I kept reading that it was difficult to do, and required custom machine work.
The piece on the left bolts on to the hub, where the steering wheel bolts on. The bolts come with it.
The piece on the right, bolts to the back of the steering wheel. Use the same bolts that were used on the steering wheel. Lock nuts and washers are provided.
The BDR steering wheel uses a Sparko bolt pattern. The quick release is keyed, so it only goes together one way. Pay attention to that as you're bolting stuff together.
And, you're done! Sort of. It is now perfectly functional. Just doesn't look that good.
To fill in the center hole, I'll find an emblem I like and fit it in there. This is what I did for my FFR. A fender emblem fit almost perfectly.
I'll find some kind of trim piece to fill the area between the hub and the release handle. I may end up powdercoating the polished hub black so it all matches. Or powdercoat the Sparko parts in near-chrome. I'll have to think on that a bit.
I want to get a new steering wheel anyway. I'm not a big fan of the wood wheel.
