Steering wheel extension?

Does anyone make a 1-2" wheel extension that fits the factory wheel?

I'm very long legged and run the seat almost the the rear stop. To properly reach the wheel I have to sit bolt upright (and my head almost touches the headliner). Using an aftermarket dished wheel w/ momo hub extender is the way I go on the track cars, but want to retain the airbag & factory wheel on the turbo. I imagine it would have to go between the wheels splined hub and the wheel itself (assuming they come apart) as the steering shaft probably isn't long enough to handle a simple spacer.

I've seen it. Sold by Carnewal in Europe. Expensive, but I want one too.

Thanks. Can't find it on the carnewal site, but found some thread that referenced it $580GBP. Thats a ~$1000. Ouch... I have a stock 4-spoke wheel off an older 996 in my garage. Maybe I'll see if it can be cannibalized to create an extension.

On the Carnewal site, go to upgrades (on left side of screen), then down to Steering Wheel Extender (on right side of screen).

Told you it was expensive. Do us a favor and post up what you come up with !
