Sorry for delay flycastinguy....

ATI kit with Carbon fiber backing plate quick release.

I forgot which actual wheel I have, but it's got little thumb-juts to help keep a solid grip on it. I've never once had a problem with it slipping.

The C5 has the old school GM style splines, the C6's are different.

I'd like the carbon cover and plug n play as well... When you talk to him, suggest a GP

Seems like there's some business here for someone. Lets see if there's a response.

If you are just interested in the carbon fiber plate you can get flat panels from DragonPlate.

Here is my removable wheel solution for about $150 bucks summit racing catalog using these grant parts and a momo wheel for another $150 bucks
Cool thing is that it is easy to make an aluminum spacer to change the hub height too if you want to.

Only those 2 parts needed and they bolt right on?? got a pic of your steering wheel column without the wheel on it? Just curious how it all bolts and latches together, I've never had my wheel off.

Thanks

what wheel are you using fatbillybob?

MySR71

How much slop is there in these splined couplers and do they wear and become sloppy over time? I've been doing a little reading about TEKNIQ AutoSport's removable steering wheel adapter for race cars (http://www.tekniqauto.com/US/snapoff/snapoff.htm) which uses two tapered pins rather splines to couple of the steering wheel to the steering shaft. One downside is that it takes two hands to removing the steering wheel.

This looks very interesting. I don't have enough experience to comment on the pin vs. spline question. But from what I read the use of their hub adapter allows you to maintain distance of wheel from driver. Seems like this can be a good thing if your race seat is already properly distanced from pedals and wheel.

MySR71

I don't think the pins are meant to be stronger than splines. Instead, they ensure there is no play in the steering system, ie, turn the wheel half a degree before the steering column starts to move. Some splines may have this. I can see where if done right, tapered pins should ensure no play even as the system wears with use. There should be no backlash.

All this being said, I've never tried the pin-based system so I don't know how good it is. Also, I don't know if they make a hub adapter for our cars (although they say they can adapt to Momo hubs). It does look like they allow a horn although some rewiring is probably needed.

My real intent for bringing up this other product was really to ask if others have problems with slop/backlash in their removable steering couplers. Either new or after some use.

called today and left message for Mike at ATI keep you posted.

Momo Montecarlo IIRC. I come from rack and pinion cars and feel the vette is overassisted so I am also using a smaller diameter wheel. 90% of my wheel use is +/- 90 degrees.

The grant quick release is one of the best one's I"ve used. Almost no play. That being said in my old race car I had a very loose quick release, but once on track it was completely un-noticable. The ATI 6 bolt to 3 bolt adapter is pretty long and sets the wheel in the stock location. I prefer it even closer so I added a spacer. Using any of the commonly available 3-6 adapters will more the wheel forward a couple inches.

I honestly can't detect any play at all in the splines; mine's a pretty dang tight fight actually.
