Steering wheel extension and DCTMS steering wheel install

I bought a 2” steering wheel extension from Carnewal a while ago. Being 6’3” my legs would not be cramped against the steering wheel as before.

Finally, installed it last night with my new steering wheel from DCTMS. The sides are black alcantara, black leather bottom, yellow top ring, and all black stitching. The smaller diameter and flat bottom even gives me more room!

Do you have a link for the extension? I'm also 6'3" and have that wheel! A 2" extension would be perfect!

Actually, I can read the gauges better. It maybe due to using Recaro Profi seats that are really low, instead of the factory seats.

Note: these are not cheap, but extremely well made. If you decide to buy, contact your credit card company first. Mine got rejected the first time, due to being an overseas purchase.

Cool! I also have Recaro seats that go lower and back a little further! Mine are made specifically for taller people to get more room but damn those seats were spendy! I wonder if the adapter needs to be any different for a Tip? I have paddle shifters installed on my wheel!

Contact Canewal directly. I did not see specifically if the TIP would or would not work.

Just like almost everything else for a Pcar.

Not doing much track time this year Only 3 days so far, as opposed to 8-10 days same time last year. Therefore the money allocated is being spent on mods/upgrades.

Here you go:

24mm socket is needed to remove the steering wheel
4mm hex key
Small wrench
Phillips screwdriver
