Default Quick release wheel and boss

Hi all,

Just wondered if anyone knew if I could fit a quick release steering wheel and boss before iva? The boss being the type that you weld on? I know the wheel I have will pass but it's just welding the boss onto the shaft and it being removable?

Thanks

Reading through all the questions about this and it looks like i might have to borrow a standard sierra steering wheel for IVA.

To be honest though, id rather do all the mods once rather than pulling the car to bits again to fit a removable boss. The one i picked up is the weld on type to a 3 bolt steering wheel.

Think i'll call the IVA guy for bishopbriges (Alan Burns) and ask him since thats where i'll be taking it.

Any more thought?

I decided to just bolt the wheel on for the moment and may change it at some point after the test. Be interested to hear what a testers view of quick release wheels are.

I see it says something about the steering boss failing, if fitted safely i don't see any problems using a proven design and quality parts.
The likes of F1 and touring cars have been using similar for years.
