Although they have a slimmer version coming soon.

Nothing, absolutely nothing beats the fit, finish, durability and safety of the Rothsport QR.

I've been around thousands of race cars and seen them all - seen a few fail and watched others have issues.

Yes, you pay a bit more, but once you hold this little jewel in your hand, and once you use it for the first time, you'll know.

I've finally fitted my Sparco one.... There's some play, I'm living with it.

Ideally I'd like something slimmer. The one you've posted - does it retain the horn?

Couldn't agree more. Used two down here in Houston, absolutely no play at all, super easy to release... It's a no brainer.

Yep. The BG one has zero play and retains the horn. Its a quality solid piece of kit.

I've got one of these:

It's very similar to the BG one, not quite as easy to get on and off but same ball bearing design, no play, very solid build. Retains the horn. Bear in mind these things bring the wheel a lot closer to you, and further from the wiper and indicator stalks.
