Hello Good People,

This place is great for sharing and receiving info for our beloved 924/944/968.
I am needing help in picking out a quality quick release hub for the 944.
I have seen some by NRG, Sparco, MOMO, etc.

What you you good people using?

T.I.

 

I have the NRG 2.5 and am impressed with it. It only locks when the steering wheel is straight so you can't put it on crooked which is nice and it has zero play.

 

I bought the NRG one. Tried it out and will not be using it for racing.The mechanism requires you to push a button with one hand and rotate the collar to allow the wheel to be removed. Was hoping I could get away cheap but I should know better by now.

It is this one:

The last thing I want is to be on fire and to try to get the little button pushed down with two gloved hands to get the steering wheel off. I just purchased some parts off another rennlister including a splined QD that I will be using for the race car.

I'll sell my NRG one to you for $60+shipping if you want it. It was installed once or twice but never used for anything more than pushing the car in and out of the garage.

 

I also have the NRG disconnect in my soon to be race car. Since Ive gotten my cage finished Ive been doing some fire drills, practicing getting out of the car with my eyes closed and as fast as I can. Havent had any problems getting the wheel disconnected fast enough. Mine you pull the collar towards you while depressing the button. No rotating. I guess thats unique to the thin version.

 

I use this one (the race version) http://www.ricks2k.com/products/snapoff.php If you search the Racing/DE Forum there are lots of discussions regarding quick release steering mechanisms.

 

I bought mine here http://tcracing.org

It has worked great for 2 yeras with no play.

 

another suggestion...haven't used any others so can't comment on comparison...
I'm 6'3 and have fixed aluminum seat very low and far back so I like the extra distance away from the stalk. Easy, one-hand operation.

The 2.5 you don't have to rotate it, and the safety button can be removed. It's only there so you don't accidently release the wheel which I can't see how that would happen. I talked to some other local racers using it and the all removed the button.

 

+1 on the tcracing one. I bought mine from Discovery parts. When it was new it would hang up a bit, just a tiny bit of grease on the pins was a permanent fix. It is still very tight after 3 or 4 years

 

Schwank, you have a PM.

 

Thank you everyone for your creative input.
Does anyone know if the NRG 2.5 version comes in thin model?

Thanks everyone for all the input!

I got my hands on a NRG 2.5 version. I had to add a few holes to the MOMO hub since I am using a Dino wheel. The hole patterns are different and wanted the steering wheel to be straight to accommodate the NRG adapter.

I already have the correct screws connecting the steering wheel to the NRG sleeve.

Question: What length and what type of metal should the screws be connecting the NRG adapter to the MOMO hub? I just broke a screwhead off! Grrrr...
