Steering wheel spacer for Mazda
Find out all the details about the steering wheel spacer compatible with Mazda cars.
The characteristics of the steering wheel spacer for Mazda
The steering wheel spacer for Mazda is necessary to bring out the full potential offered by the iconic Japanese spider.
On Mazda models , driving is perceived as more comfortable and enjoyable. This is because it increases the feeling of control of the machine and more responsive steering and interior space.
Other features:
keeping the original Mazda steering wheel keeps the interior aesthetics of the dashboard unchanged, and this becomes an advantage especially for older Mx-5s, which are now classic cars
the discreet profile and matte black colouring blend perfectly into the car’s dashboard, making the spacer look like an original Mazda part
The aluminum and steel construction, the same materials used by the parent companies to produce the steering wheels and masts, guarantees safety, reliability and long life. The product is guaranteed for life
Quick, simple and reversible installation. The spacer mimics the steering wheel mounting system on the steering column, installs only with screws and does not require permanent modifications to the machine. It can be disassembled and everything goes back to the way it was before. There are detailed instructions and we make video tutorials every time we install the spacer on a customer’s machine.
not only MX-5: we have extended the range of spacers also for the other Mazdas, after the requests of our customers: on the 2019 MX-5, with the adjustable column, the spacer can still be mounted and the depth adjustment remains functional

Fun facts about Mazda cars
The Mx-5 was born to ride, like a violin was born to play. The other cars are everyday objects that can also be used for fun, while the Mx-5 has been made since the NA series to give sensations and smiles behind the wheel.
Unfortunately we had to wait until the fourth series to have the steering wheel adjustable in depth, so as soon as it became known that we had made the spacer on the steering wheel for the second NB series, the others wanted it too.
On spiders, there is little space on board and it is not always possible to find the best driving position for everyone. Usually you push the seat back for its entire stroke, so as not to stick to the dashboard, but if the steering wheel cannot be approached, Individuals of average height can also be Uncomfortable with their legs because they always touch the steering wheel with their knees, and they have to keep their legs “frog” to drive.
Only moving the steering wheel closer solves the problem, because it frees up room for the knees. Unfortunately, until now, in order to bring the steering wheel closer, it was necessary to buy a goblet steering wheel and lose the airbag and steering wheel controls. But now, thanks to our spacer, that’s no longer the case.
The MX-5 is also the first machine on which we developed the wiring harness for the steering wheel buttons.
All the controls on the steering wheel communicate with the car thanks to wires that pass inside the steering wheel and are conveyed into a connector. These wires can also be many, 12, 16 or more. On new Mazdas, they are too short, and you could not reconnect them to the car after the spacer was installed. They should all be cut and stretched. But it’s a very uncomfortable job. And it risks voiding the warranty.
With the help of our collaborator in Japan , we then developed a wiring harness with the same official Mazda connectors, so that the wires can be connected and stretched with just one click.
