Hi all,

Could the factory or someone knowledgable about the steering wheel on the Noble comment on whether the following part would work for moving the steering wheel back?

www.shopmomo.com/spacer.html

I was thinking 2-3 of these could do the trick for us taller-folk who need to move the seat back for more legroom but then find the steering wheel is too far forward..

My (completed) 3R just arrived yesterday (Los Angeles now has a Noble...). I'll probably post some impressions in a few days. Driving time has been limited so far.

Best,
Marc

You can either get a removable steering wheel boss that moves it 30mm closer to you (and makes it removeable which I'd assume would make it harder to steal ) or Demon Tweeks have a 50-60mm spacer in their catalogue.

the boss has a set of contacts in it so it still works. I'll post a pic up when I've got round to fitting it.

The 60mm spacer would probably do the trick (no need for a detachable steering wheel)! Looks like it's made by OMP.

Hopefully I can find someone selling the part in the U.S. that has it available. If worse comes to worse I'll order from Demon Tweaks (nothing against DT, I'm just assuming it will take a lot longer to get to Los Angeles and will cost more if coming from the UK).

Thanks!

And cost an arm & leg at current exchange rates!

What bhp is your car running Marc? Didn't you have some tweaks made?
