FL5 aftermarket steering wheel: UPDATE

[TypeRbuilder]

So I did a quick forum search, but didn’t really find anything, but I’m curious as I’ve seen video and photos of quick release steering wheel wheels on the FL5. How do you go about doing that and I’m assuming you lose all functionality of cruise control and everything??

Look up zestek and madtrace

They make switch relocation kits. They also have hubs that you can reprogram steering wheel buttons to function the same as the OEM switches like Zestek.

There is also someone selling a whole setup on the forum.

If you buy the button relocation kit, it moves the buttons to the hub at a stationary position (behind the steering wheel) thus allowing the steering wheel to be released and buttons remain behind.

This whole thing is very intriguing. Looking at doing something soon! SPARCO suede wheel with the relocate kit most likely. I have some emails out now.

Sooo...was about to pull the trigger on the Works bell setup, but it's about the same as the Zestek when all said and done....so am going that route for customization and COOL factor!

No airbag ......... no pass state inspection. Check your local laws ..........

 

[TypeRbuilder]

What state inspections

 

[TypeRbuilder]

So kinda torn between Zestek and JQ Werks. The Works Bell was my first option, but for the same money!? No brainer going with one of the first 2 and keeping the factory wheel intact for swaps if needed.

 

[TypeRbuilder]

So after much deliberation, we are going with the JQ Werks Gen2 Podium hub w/OLED display and adding a OMP Super Quadro wheel to it! They were kind enough to offer us a 'small shop' discount too! Hopefully get this up and running for people as well!

Can't wait!

Beyond state inspection, insurance/crash issues are considerations.

 

[TypeRbuilder]

Oh! Right. I'm letting my insurance company know for sure! they're ok with it

I know guys....NO ONE on here does this stuff without 'thinking about it'. Relax. It's ok. Deep breaths!

But I appreciate the concern
