Manstein Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Just wondering if it possible to fit a QR steering wheel to a CSR or does the control column stalk assembly preclude this?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David aka Blue7 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I asked CC this question recently and their answer was catagorically NO, because of the steering collumn controls that you mention, so I didn't pursue the matter. I posed the question because on models produced since somewhere between 2008 - 2012, they started fitting a collapsable (slightly) steering wheel boss, the design of which did not allow the central horn push button to be used and they reverted to a horn button on right hand side of the dashboard, where it is fitted on other models. Given that the central horn push button is no longer functional, I would have thought you could fit a QR boss although you may then lose the self cancelling function for the indicators, although you are lucky if that lasts a year anyway ;) However, looking at the CC store it looks like you would require a different boss and also different columnhttp://www.caterhamparts.co.uk/product.php?id_product=127The simple answer may be to fit a steering wheel with a flat lower edge, if you are looking for easier access and more clearance between steering wheel and the seat.

tbird Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 The short answer is yes and some CSRs were supplied with QR steering wheels,, more info Here presuming you have a swoopy dash (modular) mine has a flat dash with no column stalks so no problem at all :-) Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manstein Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 Thanks for the comments and pointers probably the cut away steering wheel is a better/simpler option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makingff Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 My CSR, with the swoopy dash, has a QR boss and Momo steering wheel. It was done by the previous owner so I have no experience of doing it myself.The indicators don't self cancel but I have a loud buzzer so that's not a problem. The horn button has been moved to under the column housing which is a bit of a pain and I may move it.Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
