Hello I purchased a sparco quick release boss a few months ago but have only just got round to fitting it. But once it was fitted I noticed it's got play in it and it's a bit wobbly. Has anyone else had that? Have I bought a fake one or do they just wear out?________________________________________ Wanted list... (P.m me if you have any)Rollcage. Strut Braces.

It'll be the tolerance between the female and male spline is to slack. Nothing you can do bar buy a better one. I have a none snap off momo one spare if your interested? Ash ________________________________________ 230 hp 2.1 16v XU 205 rallye on jenveys Project thread here309 3dr K20 Type R |

Its a good 2mm play either way. On the advert for the one with the spline it says 100% zero play, yet the one that's the same as mine doesn't say that at all...________________________________________ Wanted list...

That's why I liked the look of the old lockable momo ones but they aren't about any more. ________________________________________ My 306 Rallye Project ThreadFew recent Youtube track videos, more on my channel Pair of Rallye's doing a few laps of Anglesey Lap of Anglesey Coastal 3 sisters circuit Few laps at Blyton |

It's securely attached! ________________________________________ |

Nope - went ape s**t at it to test for that. Only the flex in the wheel and column itself. ________________________________________ |

We've just fitted a sparco one, utter s**t, loads of play in it. Ended up with a lifeline one, the quality is superb, no play whatsoever. Buy cheap but twice! ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |

A gold and black one like pictured above, it was a bolt on one but I turned the back off so I could use it as a weld on one. Obviously I can't send the heap of sh1t back now I've modded it though  ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |

Now I've seen a cheap s**t one and a good one I wouldn't even consider a cheap one, wether there's play in it or not. They're cheap for a reason, poor material and poorly made. ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |
