Default C6 steering wheel adapter

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. If you are looking for a way to bolt a racing steering wheel into your C6, Pfadt Race Engineering has it.

This allows the attachment of a Momo/Sparco or equivalent (6 x 70mm pattern) wheel to your C6. You can also use it to attach any 'standard' quick release. It's made from 6061 T6 aluminum and weighs only 82 grams.

Taking pre-orders on them now. Production pieces to be available in early April. Introductory price is $149

Don't worry, we're not going to make them orange







And some photos of the prototypes. These are getting anodized right now and then I'll get some photos of them on the car.





Feel free to call for details!

That's a nice looking piece.
Back in the day I'd swapped out the steering wheel on a few of my cars but I happen to like my Corvette steering (3 spoke, relatively small diameter, thick leather wrapped rim) a lot so I'll likely stick with it.
But my Camaro Z28 has this big, thin rimmed wheel in it and I've been considering putting one of my old Momo wheels in there for years now.

Default Photos in car

Here are some more photos of the adapters. The fit in the car is great.

These are designed so that you can leave the clock spring in place and hook up the horn or whatever switches (radio, lap timer, dash etc...) and have them rotate with your new wheel. Or you can take the clock spring off and eliminate those wires. Either way works.











Please call if you have any questions.

Nothing aside from the little light being on.

The C6 has a dual deploying system and has two separate connectors that go into the airbag. Probably you could 'fool' the system into thinking that those bags are still there with a couple of resistors, but I do not recommend that. The light is a good reminder that you have done something potentially dumb, like remove the airbag.
