My tester was concerned that it would be possible to remove the wheel whilst the engine was running. Mine was a snap-off system and he eventually passed it cos I could lock the steering wheel on the boss and the key for it was welded onto a ring with the ignition key, so with the key in the ignition, you couldn't unlock it. Obviously this is nowhere near a foolproof solution and he advised that in future he wouldn't pass this arrangement (Shrewsbury)

SVA requires that a security device that acts on the steering cannot be operated whilst the engine is running. I fuess most people would say that a snap-off wheel falls under this requirement.

Its alot easier to SVA/IVA without and modify all you want after

ive also got a quick release and my idea to get round the prob is to use a magnet from a loud speaker,machine it in the lathe so it fits on to the end of the boss the have a reed switch mounted on the column conected to the ignision so only when the wheel/boss is fitted the engine will run
