X1/9 Collapsible steering wheel boss

[StruanR]

For an IVA test I need an X1/9 collapsible steering wheel boss.
They seem to be hard to come by.
Does anyone have one I could buy, borrow or know where I could get one, please?

Is this the right one?

That looks perfect, but they tend to use a generic photo covering all makes. It does not state collapsible although the photo shows it is.
I ordered a similar one from another company and it was solid not collapsible.
I have another one for a Fiat 124 berlina, but that did not fit the X/19 stalk assembly.... Grrrr.
Hence the panic, I'll try your suggestion, thank you, hope it's not one I've tried!
Any other suggestions gratefully received though......

The ones I have used in the past are cast aluminium with a hole in one side rather than the type shown in that picture. These came from TNT Autotuning as shown in the above link and were shipped from Bulgaria. These ones have however passed IVA at Nottingham without issue as I guess the hole gives them a collapsible element. I have always fitted them in conjunction with a padded centre X1/9 wheel for safety and this has always been accepted. At Gillingham it could be deemed a fail. I have now switched to a truly collapsible Mazda hub and a bespoke column shaft which I think is genuinely IVA proof.

Thank you Craig, yes that is the one I have, cast aluminium with a hole in one side, from Bulgaria. As you say, I fear Gillingham won't like that, even with a fully padded steering wheel.
I've not tried it though, so they might accept it. It does seem to depend on the inspector you get on the day.
I'd be happier with the non-cast type, if I can get one.

How about cutting the "collapsible" section from the aluminium one, face it in a lathe and then bolting on the folded steel collapsible section from a conventional hub. This could then be loaned out to other Hawk Builders going forward for peace of mind.
