I need help. We are trying to put a Sparco steering wheel on my 95Z with quick release. I'm having trouble finding a adapter to go from the stock column to the quick release or steering wheel. Does anybody have any advice? I have an adapter to go to a Grant steering wheel but the holes don't match up.
Thanks in advance Lee. |

Here ya go - aluminum pull ring QD, bolts on to your 4th gen column (also fits 3rd gen and C4 and C5 and other GM columns). The pictured adapter has the 6 bolt pattern used by the Euro wheels - Momo, Sparco, Personal. I have the QD in stock, it will take me a day or 2 to fab the adapter. I'll PM pricing.

I just got the NRG adapter and their quick release for my Momo. It's a little pricey, but parts that hold your steering wheel onto the column aren't something you want to be cheap with when you're doing 115mph around the track with the wheel turned.
Adapter: https://getnrg.com/products/quick-release-k...rt-hub/srk-170h Quick release: https://getnrg.com/products/quick-release-k...n-2.5/srk-250bk If you want any detailed pics or other info, let me know. Also, if you do want to buy them, go on Amazon instead of their site. I got the adapter for $80 and the release for just over $100. The problem I don't like about the spline kits like that mentioned above is that you can reattach the wheel in any orientation you want, so it's pretty easy to not get the wheel on center. The NRG kit uses a ball and socket type of engagement, kinda like a ratchet head that only allows the wheel to go on 1 way, keeping it centered. Also, when you pull back the release, it stays that way until you push it back on. No having to pull the release handle again. Doesn't sound like a big deal, but it makes it a lot easier to use. After looking, it doesn't look like you can run a horn with that kit either. This post has been edited by Sparkles: Jan 28 2014, 03:04 AM |

Ya, I've learned to straighten the wheel before removing it, so I can just put the wheel on straight and be good to go. Otherwise, a pointer can be set up QUOTE After looking, it doesn't look like you can run a horn with that kit either. A buddy had a SpecRX7 and left the horn in it - he had a points battle going with another guy and was gridded next to him on the front row. As they approached the starter stand he laid on the horn just as the green waved. Distracted the other guy enough to get the jump on him. Only worked once tho |
