32eachtime Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 I need help finding the correct Lifeline quick release steering wheel adapter for my 2006 Caterham 7. I’m setting up an alternate wheel from the Momo. The Lifeline quick release adapter that’s on the car with the Momo wheel has no numbers for reference. The current adapter is a 3 hole version. Thoughts on this please. Thanks for your help! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCh Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 I'd ping Lifeline USA to confirm that their current 3-hole adapter will still fit your setup. Their phone number is in the upper right corner of the page: https://www.lifeline-fire.com/lifelineformulacarweld-onquickreleasesteeringadapter.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MV8 Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 Ditto. It sounds like you need a momo six hole "touring weld-on" adapter and have the three hole "formula weld-on". I expect the only difference is the hub pattern with the same weld-on shaft for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

32eachtime Posted November 9 Author Share Posted November 9 So I did contact Lifeline…easy to discuss and had the proper quick release adapter in 4 days. Awesome service! Thanks for the advice! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamScotticus Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 Piggybacking here. Who has the best QD that bolts up to the standard Cat steering column, that is a small hub for a 3 spoke Nardi type wheel? I've decided the Mountney is too small and heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamScotticus Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 Meteor have a weld-on chrome moly plug. A very nice QR. But I am wanting a direct bolt-on to the Caterham splined shaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toldfield Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 I bought the QR and top shaft from them. The QR is already attached to the upper column. Easy installation they are very nice to deal with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamScotticus Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 (edited) Wheel add this one https://www.go-race.co.uk/product-page/caterham-column-with-quick-release-boss there is/was a L7C discount with these Edited November 18 by IamScotticus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toldfield Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 No problems. There are some threads here about pulling it out. I made sure that the steering wheel lock was not engaged by turning the ignition on. Mine came right out. Some guys have had to use a bit of force. It is possible to damage the white plastic bushing that is in the dashboard so I bought a spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
