That’s… that’s a brilliant idea! The racing variety needs some cutting and
welding so I was a little weirded out about it but looking online it looks
like there are really good bolt-on solutions!  I’m going to try that and
see how it goes.  The steering wheel really presents a barrier that I never
noticed .

     Sean,
     Several Pantera vendors sell removable steering wheel hubs. I
     consider them dumb for people who donat need them, and brilliant for
     those who do. I think you have entered the latter category.
     With the steering wheel removed, entry and egress become absolutely
     simple. Go for it!
