Ebay has over 500 entry's under " quick realease hub"

I'm sure most are junk,as they are under $10.00.

Here's a sample.

Right, I've seen those but am always turned off to them by the gimicky looking/ricey looking ads.. was hoping someone could recommend one from a company that we've all heard of. I like the locking one from Tekniq and also the one xitspd pictured..

Xitspd - did you mention who made yours? Will it lock by any chance?

It has no provision for locking. I was designed for strength with racing in mind. I am going to start a new production run and should have them available at the start of next year.

ok, if I haven't bought something by then I'll look into getting one of yours. Let me ask this question though - Since I already have a Momo wheel mounted to my stock 914 collum will I need anything like an adapter or do I already have that part of the equation? I'd just need the quick release unit, right?

You get the "pictured" system set up for a MOMO steering wheel. It is car specific.

"The picture." Example 914 and 914-6 are two different models. The 914-6 has a different spline than the 914.

if someone wants the car bad enough, they'll figure out a way to get it....


Of course but this could eliminate some of the possible theaves, I think it may be woth while. Some of these guys may not even know removable steering wheels exist.

Xitspd - you say yours aren't cheap..do you sell them?

Turbo Paul - thanks for the link, those seem like what I'm looking for. Do you use one on a 914? If so, it looks like the price for the Momo one is about $170 but is there a hub adapter or something else that needs to be bought? I didn't see them listed but they were mentioned...how much for the 914?

Btw, I have no problem with carrying the wheel with me, I'll just slip it in my backpack with the rest of my junk.

Doug C

Good day Doug,

Sorry for the delay responding to your questions. Man I just blinked for a moment and 3 days went by. Yes I am currently using the Tekniq on my 914. $170.00 + $20.00 for an adapter ring gets you everything that you will need to install it in the 914. This b$tch is strong. There is a race version but the only difference is the race version does not have the key locking system that the street version has. Added security each hub is made slightly different so that you cannot use a wheel from another Tekniq equipped car. Just in case the thief has a Tekniq wheel too.

Just a thought.
I'm using a grant steering wheel and hub with a " Grant no wheel no steal" on it.
It allows you to remove and lock the column with a key.

Not a bad system either. Very similar to the Tekniq and only $140.00

Sorry thought I already answered that. The horn is removed with the wheel.

OK, so plug the horn in every time and unplug it everytime? Quick connectors in between the two I guess?

It’s a one-time connection by you. You connect the horn on the wheel as usual but the release hub has two connection buttons that make the contact for you. If you look at the pictures you can see the two connection buttons on the inside of the hub. It would be counter productive to have to disconnect the horn manually every time you removed the wheel.
