Houston, we have a problem! Well went outside in the 25 degree, wind-chilled weather today to install my new quick release. On my way to my baby, I didn't even realise it was so cold out because of the "magic heating properties" the quick release possessed. Well there I am, allen wrench in hand, with a smile bigger than a 60 year old hooker watching horny soldiers getting off tha boat from Iraq. I placed the base into the steering collar and....BANG! The base crashed into the locking nut! DAMN! It's still OK because I did want to add a spacer to bring the steering wheel closer. I'm looking to get a spacer next week. I'm heading home for that turkey tomorrow. Just want all to know before you decide to purchase.

The way the disconnect hub is set up there is a base that is a few inches deep. This base houses the horn attachment which looks like a spring-loaded nail in the middle of a long nut (@ least 2 inches long). This "nail" for lack of a better word is encapsulated / suspended in plastic. The bottom of this base hits the steering wheel shaft nut that connects my MOMO adapter to the shaft.
