PRODUCT DETAILS
Lifeline FIA Steering Quick Release Kit (410-100-003)
If you're serious about track days or wheel-to-wheel racing, a quick release isn't a luxury, it's how you get in and out of a caged car and how you exit fast in an emergency. This Lifeline kit disconnects your wheel in seconds, with a 360-degree release you can deploy or stow from any angle without fumbling for a specific position. It's a complete FIA-approved kit: the gold anodized aluminum hub for your wheel plus the chromoly shaft spud for your column, hardware included.
It's A Complete Kit, Both Sides Included
Worth understanding up front, because it's more than just the wheel-side hub.
A quick release has two halves: the hub that bolts to your steering wheel, and the shaft spud that attaches to your steering column. This kit includes both, the gold anodized aluminum hub and the chromoly shaft spud, along with the mounting hardware.
The shaft spud is a bolt-on unit with a 3/4" diameter, 14-spline keyway shaft, 1-5/8" overall length with a 1-1/4" spline length. That's the piece that mates to your steering setup, so between the hub and the spud, this kit is the complete quick release rather than one half needing another part to function.
The Gold Anodizing Is An FIA Requirement
Worth understanding, because the color isn't a style choice.
Lifeline anodizes the hub gold specifically to meet FIA requirements. The FIA specifies the finish so scrutineers and marshals can quickly identify a compliant quick release, which matters at tech inspection and in an emergency.
If your series runs to FIA requirements, the gold finish is part of what makes this compliant, not just how it looks. Buying an FIA-approved unit means the finish is correct as well as the construction.
360-Degree Release
How it operates.
This is a 360-degree release design, which means the mechanism disconnects the wheel regardless of position rather than requiring the wheel to be at a specific point. You pull to release and the wheel comes off, quickly and in one motion, from any angle.
In an emergency exit, a release you can operate instantly matters, since seconds count getting out of a car. It's also simply convenient for everyday in-and-out, one pull and the wheel is off without lining anything up first.
Chromoly Spud, Aluminum Hub
The two-material construction puts each metal where it does the most good.
The shaft spud is chromoly with a black oxide finish. Chromoly is chosen for the spud because that's the piece transmitting your steering input through the splines and taking the mechanical load, and chromoly is considerably stronger than standard steel for that job.
The hub is aircraft-quality aluminum, gold anodized, keeping the wheel-side weight down while the anodizing hardens the surface against wear and corrosion. Strong chromoly where the load goes, lighter aluminum where it can be, which is how a quality quick release is built.
Fits 6-Bolt Steering Wheels
The wheel-side fitment.
The hub uses the standard 6-bolt pattern shared by OMP, MOMO, Sparco, and most major aftermarket wheel makers, so if your wheel is a 6-bolt unit, it bolts straight to the hub.
Check your wheel's bolt pattern before ordering, but 6-bolt covers the large majority of aftermarket racing wheels.
