3. Choose from dozens of aftermarket steering wheels that fit the hub i.e. Momo, Sparco, OMP etc.

Unique to Eliseparts.

Most aftermarket quick release kits depend on just ball bearings or pins to grip the steering column and take the forces of turning the steering wheel.

Ours is unique because we have designed all the turning forces to be taken by 28 splines AND Stainless steel Ball bearings.

 

The early Snap Off kits used to suffer from premature wear on the pins and gave a loose feeling after a few years use.

Splines are MUCH stronger as a similar arrangement is used to turn your cars driveshafts.

 

The Complete Quick release kit is then Hard Anodised Black so it is scratch proof and will not wear.

Splining and hard anodising are quite an expensive processes whereas other aftermarket kits are soft sulphuric anodised or simply painted black.

 

We have spent many hours using AutoCAD and Solid Works design to make this Quick Release kit the smallest it can be (only 58mm wide) for those people that want the New Aftermarket steering wheel in the same location as the Original steering wheel .

 

You also have the option of two different thickness spacers should you want to bring the steering wheel closer to the driver,one is 20mm thick the other 40mm .

 

Choose the 20mm adaptor from the Drop Down list below if you want the Steering Wheel about 20mm closer to you than OE or the 40mm adaptor if you want the steering wheel 40mm closer to you than OE.

 

Another innovation is the kit is Universal in that it will fit any Elise, 340R, Exige, 111R, 2-Eleven or VX220 from 1996 -2011 as it has both the old and new mounting configuration developed within the kit.

Older cars had the steering wheel mounted via 4 cap head bolts from the rear of the steering wheel hub whilst later model cars or those with Airbags mount via 4 caphead bolts from the front axis.

 

Once installed no holes are visible so no plastic covers are required to hide them.

 

The outer PCD will accept most aftermarket steering wheels ( Momo , Sparco, Nardi, Personel, OMP etc) and we have cleverly designed another unique feature in that the Centre Boss will accept the Lotus Horn Push Button without the need for any adaptor ring.

 

The EP Tuning Quick Release kit has a double safety feature so you have to press a button and pull a spring loaded lever to remove your steering wheel so no unfortunate mishaps can happen whilst driving.

 

We have even incorporated two red dots at the top so you can align the steering wheel in seconds no matter which way your wheels are pointing.

 

The kit comes complete with picture instructions and all the wiring pre installed, the maximum you may need to do is to crimp one wire (depending how long your original wire is).

 
It takes about 45 - 60 minutes to install*

 

An extensive range of steering wheels can be seen in our Steering Wheel section We specialise in the MOMO and SPARCO range.
 
This kit is for fitting aftermarket steering wheels only and does NOT include a Steering wheel, the horn push or the 6 screws to attach the steering wheel.
