IVA and removable steering wheel

[Spid]

IVA is only weeks away and I have a removable steering wheel, not the locking type will that be a problem?

It will if you haven't got the crush zone in there.

Google it and you may find cheaper.

I have that ugly st-thing laying around.
Do you think I can put it under the dashbord?

[Steve_D]

The idea is that should you hit the steering wheel during an accident then the wheel can crush away from you. Behind the dash would render this inoperable.

thx for answering.

it will do the same under the dash.
if it has enough space behind the wheel

Just in case, I bought a cheap road boss for my OMP wheel, which had a collapsible element. The chap at the test didn't ask/check though anyway!

UK legislation will require (for good reason) a collapsible element. I needed the spacer provided by a boss to bring the wheel to the correct position anyway.

In the event of a frontal impact..which is all about the dash and wheel coming to meet you, I'm glad this is in place.

+1 and better than being speared by the stearing shaft.

Speared by the stearing shaft.

We are lucky that someone invented
the (removable)steering wheel,
otherwise we could get really hurt..
