For anyone who is tall and has considered adding a steering wheel spacer for some extra legroom, here's a fairly easy way to try before you buy and determine the right spacing.

McMaster Carr here in the US sells M6 Male-Female Threaded Hex Standoffs that you can use to extend the steering wheel attachment by bolting the steering wheel to these, and then bolting these into the quick release fixture. I bought the 51mm ones to get a 2-inch spacing. I added oversize washers both on the back of the wheel itself and on the back of the release fixture to make it more stable.

The spacer I used is this one, a "Male-Female Threaded Hex Standoff, 18-8 Stainless Steel, 13 mm Hex Size, 51 mm Long, M6 x 1.00 mm Thread Size". They are available in other lengths, and I am sure in other countries there are local suppliers. My solution is for the 4-bolt Brooklands wheel, but I expect you can do the same thing with other wheels, although double check it uses M6 bolts before you order.

It is not pretty, but works well and feels rock solid. I'm waiting for Krazy Horse to re-stock the solid spacers and will switch to one of those for appearance once they can get me one.

Here's the ugly but effective result, which means I can now easily rest my left leg on the floor when it is off the clutch. I'm 6'5".
