Anyone fitted a quick release boss? Seems like a great layer of extra security!

I bought the Murray Motorsport one as well and use it with a Momo wheel, very good piece of kit 👍

Same here too. The FCX supplied QR bears no off-road only mark - I hope that's not the case! |

I've had several cars that have come from the factory with a quick release boss - no issue in the UK. Illegal in France, and a "motorfahrzeugkontrollen" fail in Switzerland...but no problems ever in UK with MOT or insurance. |

Just interested to hear if when the wheel is fitted there is any "movement" on the quick release boss? Cheers Don.

On mine (FCX supplied), there is no perceptible movement when stationary and grasping the wheel - feels solid & secure.
However, when hitting one of those Defender 'front wheel wobblers' (usually a diagonal ridge/trough across the road) I do get a loud clacking from the joint which was quite alarming and unwelcome at first. I have learnt to apply a little downward pressure on the wheel when this happens and it ceases. I had wondered whether just a little tape or foam or something applied in the right place would prevent this, but it's another one of those little jobs on the list. Overall, I'm happy with the extra feeling of security I have when the wheel is off and in the house/hotel/whatever. But there is the downside of parking up where you really don't want to look like a t*t walking around with your wheel. Yes you could carry in a suitable bag, but... I guess the answer would be to have a lockable cover or chest for those times, but then having it removable was to avoid all that.  |

Has anyone got any pics of these fitted? Are they bulky?
