I was thinking about getting another wheel if I get this car. Made some general inquiries at Auto stores and the stumbling block seems to be the hub adaptors. none of their parts listings show hubs.
Is there a known hub model that fits, so I could go back and say it's the same hub size as xxxx model car.

I just did mine. I bought the Grant hub and the Momo "grant-to-momo" adaptor (3 bolt to 6 bolt) so I could install a Momo Prototipo wheel. The install went very smoothly. The pins in the Grant can be pushed in until they clear your clock assembly -- **BE CAREFUL about this!***

The only minus is a little rubbing on the stock plastic housing and that the adaptor brings the wheel a little bit closer.

I'm going to get the Momo hub next, but you have to trim the pins on that one. I just want to see if it brings the wheel away from me a bit more.

Does that help? There is a thread on here with part numbers.

do you guys use quick releases, or do you chance it leaving the steering wheel on, wherever you go?

Gary Boone fit a quick release hub, iirc it may require machining and or welding.

I have installed killswitches in locations only known to my self. I use a footswitch from a musical instrument "stompbox" It basically just breaks the connection going to the coil making it inop.
