I've been using the earliest version of the LTB, I bought mine about 5yrs ago and it was hex not round, also yellowish in color, whatever you get make sure is approved by your sanctioning body

So you have a spline'd one? Any looseness or rocking? My SFI approved hex one I used back when I rally'd didn't feel as "locked" in as I wanted, had a tiny bit of rotational play, hense the looking for something new, been eyeing several ball bearing one, but haven't heard back from the people I know use them.


Going on a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 I'm building. All the classes I run allow pretty much anything you can prove is solid and secure to the scrutineers.

Thinking either a ball bearing unit or this:

TEKNIQ - Snap-Off System race version modified with yellow release handles.

Mine has little to no play, the only thing I have to do to it is spray some wd40 and clean it to make it slide in & out better.....

I dont know about the SnapOff ! it looks like a poor design... I will feel much safer knowing that my steering wheel slides in into a rod (hex or gear type) that is at least 1" long. But that is just me. The SnapOff looks like is about 1/2 inch long and the locking system looks hard to work with..... you will need your 2 hands to pull un-lock and lock it. the other systems if you get into and accident and have only one hand to unstrap your self... you can grab the middle of the steering wheel and pull the release to unlock it.... Something to think about

Yea, I'll probly not get the snapoff one.
