Steering Wheel Wall Mount

Post by Badders » Sun Jan 10, 2021 11:09 am

Lockdown 2.1 has presented many opportunities for us all to waste a bit of time (except enjoying the car, it seems). Between improving my alcohol tolerance and sleeping, I thought it would be an excellent idea to store my Atom steering wheel out of the way on the wall of the office, allowing me to stare at it and wish it was attached to the car with me sitting behind it. As such, I knocked up a plastic boss that fits the lifeline quick release adapter, with 4mm holes for screws. Functional? Yes. Pointless? Probably. Cheap? Absolutely.

I can't be too sure if the quick release is the same across the range, but my Atom 4 has the type you can see in the photos with a 20mm spigot. May be useful for Nomad and 3/3.5 wheels too.

If anyone would like one, please let me know and I'll gladly stick you one in a jiffy bag.

Badders that's a great idea. I will happily take one off you. Let me know the cost and will transfer it to you.

Best Jerry

No problem chaps. I've got white filament loaded presently. Is that OK with both of you? Otherwise, the grey in the photos, transparent red or transparent blue are available. Let me know what you'd prefer.

Wow That looks great!!

Any possibility to send me the 3D model? I have my own 3D printer.

Sending it to Belgium would be a stupid expense

Hi Badders, I'd love one of these, if you have either colour is fine, pref for white though.

Let me know cost and I'll send over.

Many thanks

Two white ones just off the printer. Will get them out to you [mention]Valey80[/mention] and [mention]phil4[/mention]. Just about to start the grey.

[mention]Lew[/mention] and [mention]ArBrMD[/mention]. I'll PM you the stl file, along with a 3mf file for PETG 0.4mm nozzle, 0.1mm layer. I printed solid around screw holes, and 5 walls around the recess for the bearings.

This is a great idea 8) :) and the first time I regret, that I choosed a different QR to replace the SPA one.
