Dear Forum:

My question was getting lost in the last posting.
So will start from the top.
Is there a quick release steering wheel option for MMM cars.?
If a new replacement; will need to be period sympathetic.
All the best.

My advice would be only to do this with great care. There are race weld - on bosses that can be (expertly) welded to the top of the column and have a relatively discreet flange. To disconnect the wheel the flange is squeezed closer to the boss. Example below:

John, I got my lever assembly from https://www.svwspares.co.uk/ and had to modify it as Chris has already said. Give them a try.

Several of the P-types imported to Australia as rolling chassis and fitted with doorless bodies when new now have removal steering wheels to accommodate the aging legs of current owners.
The boss on the steering column is not welded and the original steering wheel center can be reinstated making the process reversible. The removable center is a proprietary product but I can’t find now who supplies them. John - if you contact me I can give you the details of who fitted it to the car.

John - a search for "WILWOOD QUICK RELEASE STEERING WHEEL HUB" should find the part, it looks like they are available to suit different diameter steering columns
