Burkhart Quick Release Steering Wheel Kit

Anyone use this? and how hard was the install? I have seen quick releases for less but they all require welding the receiver lug to the shaft, is this just a bolt in kit or am I better off going for the cheeper kits and having a buddy weld the lug thing to the shaft?

If this just bolts right up then I may think about it, but 120 for the quick release hub is a little steep compaired to $30 for a universal GM quick release hub if both need to be welded on. Welding takes time and money plus working around someone elses schedule, so if this is a bolt in kit please let me know...

The burkhart piece does not need to be welded on, it slides onto the stock splines and bolts into place....

I vae it in my car and it works great.

Thanks.. That is what I was hoping, now I just need to see how my money situation looks. I am debating on this or the manual brake/ABS delete stuff...
