50.8mm / 70mm Adapter¶
Some formula style steering wheels may utilize a 50.8mm mounting pattern to allow the quick release to clear shift levers and other parts. Simucube 50.8 to 70mm Adapter can be used to mount Link Quick Release or other quick release parts with a 70mm mounting pattern to these type of wheels.
This 50.8mm adapter can be mounted to threaded and non-threaded wheels. The adapter also moves the quick release 30mm away from the wheel, to avoid contact with any levers.
