Is a steering boss included with the Rapfix II RE:V Quick Release?

No. The Rapfix II RE:V Quick Release needs a steering boss for your car, which is sold separately. The manufacturer does not publish a bolt pattern or a list of compatible bosses, so ask Bulletproof Automotive to confirm the combination for your car and wheel before ordering.

Does the horn still work?

Yes. The horn wiring is connected at the same moment the wheel is locked on, so there is no separate plug to join each time the wheel is fitted. This one-touch connection is part of the Rapfix II design and saves time when refitting.

How do I know it is a genuine Works Bell unit?

Look for the markings on the Rapfix II RE:V Quick Release. The sleeve is silk printed with made in japan and WorksBell logos, and the plug carries a laser-engraved patent number. Copies imitating the Rapfix shape are on the market, and since this is a steering safety component, an unmarked copy is worth avoiding.

How much lighter is this version than the earlier Rapfix?

Switching the sleeve to aluminum makes this version about 174g lighter than the earlier product, according to the manufacturer. The total weight of the unit is not published. The makers say the lighter sleeve helps improve the feel through the wheel when steering.

Does the wheel have to be lined up when fitting it?

No. The system is designed so the wheel locks at the top position even when it is inserted without paying attention to the angle. That makes refitting quick and helps the wheel end up straight and secure each time, with little play once it is locked.

J’s Racing Rapfix II RE:V Quick Release

J’s Racing’s Rapfix II RE:V Quick Release, catalogued as the SPL Rapfix II RE:V, is the returning black and red collaboration between Works Bell and J’s Racing: a removable steering wheel system built on the ball-lock Rapfix design. Rapfix II was developed for one-action fitting and lower weight, and this version’s aluminum sleeve makes it about 174g lighter than the earlier product. Push the wheel on at any angle and it still locks at the top position, while the horn circuit connects as the wheel goes on. It suits an owner who takes the wheel off regularly; if yours never comes off, a plain steering boss is the simpler choice.

Construction

The socket, plug and sleeve are die forged, as high-end aluminum wheels are, aligning the metal flow for strength. The sleeve is cold-forged A5056 high-strength aluminum alloy with a black hard-anodized finish for wear resistance, and its inner surface is Teflon coated to protect the socket and keep the slide smooth. The socket and plug are also A5056, anodized in color.

About J’s Racing

J’s Racing was established in Osaka in 1989, as VTEC engines and lightweight Civics and Integras were changing what a Honda could do, and it has built parts for Hondas ever since. The company develops engine response, suspension, braking, cooling and aerodynamics together as one system, then proves the parts in time attack, gymkhana, endurance and circuit racing. Its Fit lapped Tsukuba Circuit in 1’00.459, and its naturally aspirated AP1 S2000, the Maou car, became the company’s reference build for the Honda roadster. Every J’s Racing part is designed and tested in Japan, and J’s Racing USA in Carson, California handles distribution in the United States.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
