Default Snap off boss

who makes and wherre is the best place to get the above? I'm after one that i can fit a standard RS Cosworth wheel with and just have it snap off for security.

I may get a momo or sparco wheel and if i do i'll just get a boss from them but i still fancy the idea of a Cossie wheel.

Also not bothered if its just a paddle release or a key release.

I'm after one as well. Halfrauds will do them for under £90 but am looking for a good 2nd hand one instead as £90's a lot of cash.

Does bring the wheel closer, but alot depends on the Steering wheel boss adaptor too, some of those will be smaller than the original.
