Default Steering Wheel Spacer

Has anyone ever seen a spacer for a quick release wheel that would move the steering wheel 1"-2" closer to the driver? For the 951 series.

Demon Tweeks, UK. Shipping cost may be a bit high ?

I use the LTB spacer linked above, works fine. Look on eBay, they have some listed with free shipping. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LTB-1...Q5fAccessories

Thanks for the tips, I did find the ITB but was looking for closer to 2". Shiners780, does the 1" give you more knee room with more leverage on the wheel?

Thanks for the tips

It does. Do you have a steering wheel already? If not, you could consider a dished wheel which will do the same thing as a spacer, or in addition to a spacer can really extend the wheel rearward.

Personally, I would prefer mine to be even closer. Anyone have a dished wheel they want to trade?

Just picked one up, hoping it helps. I picked up a M018 steering wheel a few years back and really liked how it was 30mm closer to the driver. I'm surprised more people didn't tick that option block.

I found in the links offered above a Sparco adapter which works with Momo wheels. I have a Momo wheel already so this might work. Thanks for the comments about needing one closer even than the 1". I think I'll go for the 2" and see how that works.
