Recommended me a removable steering wheel
Hi, now that I've fitted the seats and the steering column. I've realised that due to me not keeping up with my gymnastics and
contortionist training. Every time I want to go for a drive I will have to break both my legs, which could make the car less appealing.
Hence I have decided to be a bit of a wimp and fit a removable steering wheel instead. Its Sierra based and has to pass the IVA and not be expensive
and I'm happy to weld something on.
Any recommendations? Ta in advance

I cant recommend the GO RACE products highly enough:
GO RACE
Most certainly not the 'locost' option, but quality is fantastic.

The Wetsifled IVA steering wheels come up for sale quite frequently as most ditch them after IVA. They have a specifically design pad, and you can buy
a removable boss kit

Yeah that was the plan but seriously its painful getting in, even standing on the seat. Not helped by me being quite short so the seats move quite a
bit in.
Thanks for the suggestion, they look fine apart from the pink colour!

Take some advice from one that failed his IVA because of it, fit an OE wheel and put up with it for one day.

Oh right thanks for the warning. Looks like I need to start doing some exercise...

Can you raise the column any more?
Phoned the local ramblers club today, but the bloke who answered just
went on and on.

I could raise it by about an inch and it is adjustable and the current wheel is a small aftermarket one. Still very tight.

I didn't fail my SVA on this, but chose to fit the donor Sierra steering wheel for the test. Afterwards I replaced it with a smaller diameter
(non removable) steering wheel to improve the feel (and look) of the car.
For the sake of the test fit and OEM/donor steering wheel and live with it. Change it afterwards.

I've cut the bracket and raised the column by just an inch and can now get in ok. I think it's going to be fine now amazing what such
an little change like that makes... Cheers for all the help
