I have the same setup with a Sparco wheel. I was also a little concerned about whether it would put the wheel too close, but I am on the tall side, so it works out just about perfectly for me. My only gripe is the shifter is a touch too far forward relative to the wheel, but I've gotten used to it now.

As Sieg said, it's really nice to pop the wheel off when you want to work around the dash area, and I took mine off when I've left it parked somewhere that I'm not completely comfortable with and just put it in the trunk.

Nice piece, well made, I recommend it.

Default NRG question

Hey guys, im wanting to run this release on one of the cars at the shop.

Right now I have a Sparco adapter already on the column. Can I run the Gen 2 off of that adapter? Is the NRG release base 6 bolt pattern the same as the steering wheel 6 bolt pattern?

What I want to do is run the release between the wheel and boot.

I ordred a regular QR but its mounted on the lower 3 bolt side. No bueno to use.

Vince,

I bought the NGR quick release and mounted it to my Momo adapter hub which was a collapsible design. Regretfully it put the wheel too close and cramped arm movement. I purchased the narrower NGR hub which put the wheel close to the previous location. The bolt patterns were the same in my situation - 70mm.

Perfect Sieg, thats what I wanted to hear. I also have the Momo adapter so it should work perfectly. I ordered the new column thats 2" shorter than stock.

Its a nice set up and is built right.

How much time do you have with the adapter? Any play in it?

There's only a couple thousand miles on mine. No detectable movement at all. The NGR piece is a nicely designed and machined piece - much better than expected for the price.

unlike the stupid one I bought from grant. Feels like the darn wheel is loose.

Just ordered a few and should be in on friday. I'll post a few pictures of the install.
