QR steering wheel photos

The QR moves the steering wheel about two inches closer.  That in itself is a great help as it gives more room for your legs when entering and exiting.

Still steerable if you have vice grips:

14" with a thicker rim works out to the same as the stock one:

That looks great, John! I wish I could have a thicker and maybe a bit smaller steering wheel, but it would obstruct my oil pressure and water temp gauges.

Fantastic work as always John,  Your quality of work is really something to strive for, everything always looks like it is in place and right for the car.

Added a spring loaded "brush" so I my wheel pops on and off quickly and I still have a working horn button.
