Talking Quick Release and Hub Adapter Question

Who has one on there car? and who or whom did he/she go through to get this product...Thanks...

There is a company or website that sells first gen quick release steering wheels but i can't find there website...I did buy there lexan windows but soon after i lost there web address...Any help with some kind of information, leads, or links would be great...

My next question is if the first gen second gen and third gen models all have the same spline count on the steering shaft where the steering wheel goes? If that is the case i will just buy one for an FC and call it a day

the fc hub sits further back than the 1st gen/miata hub. so if you put the FC hub on the 1st gen the turn signals and horn dont work.

if you buy a quick release get a good one, bad ones have lots of slop/play in them

splines are the same, only difference is the offset of the hub, FC is different from everything else.

if you dont have the turn signal BS, then it doesnt matter.
