Default NRG Quick Disconnect Question

My NRG Quick Disconnect v2.5 came with no instructions and these mysterious parts:


Any ideas?

Looking at that picture seems like those at for the horn. the spacer I'm not sure of.

Can you post a picture of everything you have? I'm trying to remember what all I had in mine, it's been almost a year since I put it on. The problem with these kits is that they made one that fits a lot of different car models. I spoke with NRG about that and he told me that the miata kit fits mazda/ford/something else.

Thanks Justin. Think you nailed it although the spacer is still a mystery.

Anyways, my kit contained:
1. Machined part that bolts to the hub.
2. Quick release that bolts to the steering wheel.
3. Bag of screws with 3mm allen wrench.
4. The three mystery parts. Two are obviously horn ground rings and the other . . . who knows.

I guess the bottom line is bolt it all up and ask:
1. Do the wheels turn? Check.
2. Does the steering wheel pop off and on? Check
3. If you care about a horn, does it blow? Check

Done!!

There is where the spacer goes if you need it. I can't remember if we need it or not on miatas.

I've daily drove mine for almost a year now, I've cleaned it once and re-lubed it with some dry lubricant spray. Be careful not to over torque the supplied bolts, I snapped one or two. My horn worked some, but now it doesn't. I'm fine with that, not like the miata horn was a voice of reason anyhow. I might put in a aftermarket horn someday, but I've never been much of a honker.

Interesting. Looks like it depends upon the steering wheel. Pretty sure my Momo doesn't have a groove like that.
