Description
The steering wheel spacer is a kit that improves the driving position of passenger cars.
Our steering wheel spacer for Alfa Romeo Spider brings the steering wheel closer, to improve the driving position, and is the evolution of the collapsible steering wheel hub for aftermarket steering wheels.
In the pics you can see the steering wheel spacer installed on an Alfa Spider: the driving position improves A LOT. You can recline and slide the seat backwards, gain room for your legs and sit comfortably in the seat having the steering wheel right in your hands in while, without holding your arms too much straight. This whole new position seems to amplify the driving sensations too.

Until now, to bring a vehicle’s steering wheel closer to the driver, without the depth adjustment option, you could only remove the OEM steering wheel and replace it with an aftermarket one, and combine it with its collapsible steering wheel hub. Until the 80s and early 90s this was a good solution, but when a car starts to become vintage you feel the need to leave it as it left the factory back in the days. With our steering wheel spacer you can bring the original vintage steering wheel closer to you and solve the problem of the driving position while maintaining the originality.
Assembly instructions
Procedure is very simple:
- pull out the central horn button with the Alfa Romeo logo,
- Unscrew the big nut that holds the steering wheel on the steering column.
- remove the steering wheel and insert the aluminium part of the steering wheel spacer in place of it.
- Re-tight the central big nut.
- Secure the steel part of the spacer onto its aluminum part, tightening the 6 Allen screws
- Slide the steering wheel onto the steel shaft of the spacer, tight the nut included in the kit and reconnect the horn button.
We have also selected for you a website where all versions of Alfa Romeo 105 are listed, to check the compatibility of the spacer.
