Source for steering wheel QR and spacers?

[zuspiel]

I have long legs and short arms and my wife very short. In the Elise, I use a 30mm spacer behind the wheel which made it much more comfortable since my legs are not cramped anymore. My wife can't currently drive either the 7 or the Elise since she can't reach the clutch. We'll have a custom seatback pad made so she can drive the 7 (three pillows are just not all that practical ;-)

 

Our 7 has the standard Caterham QR column and MOMO wheel. I'd like a spacer but she would be cramped with one. So the solution would be using two wheels. That poses two questions:

 

1. Where can I get a spacer for that formula-style 3 x 50.8 PC QR? I could only find spacers for the larger 70+ bolt spacing. Do I have to go to a machine shop?

 

2. Where can I get just a QR wheel mount that fits on the column? The QR looks like Sparco but Lifeline mentions custom mounts on their website so I'm not sure if they make their mounts themselves or resell Sparco... Anybody know? Also, would really like a black one. SWMBO will not be happy with a gold QR... ;-)

 

Thanks a lot in advance!

Sube Sports in Huntington Beach, CA is a Lifeline seller/distributor, so they may be of help. I have no affiliation with them, other than sourcing a set of harnesses a while back, but they seem to be a pretty knowledgable group.

I hope this helps,

Thanks a lot, Dave! I'll give them a call.

Pegasus Racing usually has a good selection...

Thanks! Good to know about them.

 

For the present pickle, they don't seem to have anything, though. However, they do have an adapter to go from the Lifeline hubs to MOMO 6 hole pattern. That's good to know for the future (and might come in handy for other people).
