You would think there would be at least one other manufacturer producing a similar product. :confused:

No idea what I am looking at here... https://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_odk...e+hub&_sacat=0

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
 

NRG Innovations makes one but it seems it will push the wheel out too far. That's the only other one I could find.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
 

They also have to be SFI 42-1 to be NHRA legal.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
 

I don't see that requirement in the rule book in stock or general rules. I see where it must be welded. And I don't remember anywhere on the tech card for that. I have had the weld looked at on mine but never asked about an sfi number. Perhaps a different steering wheel would be easier to find a quick disconnect for.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
 

My Grant certainly isnt welded...it's inner spline is simply held in place by the factory nut. I don't see it being any less safe than the standard factory setup on these older vehicles.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
 

You're correct, the SFI spec is for 7.50 and quicker. I need a hub that doesn't move the wheel back because she's so close to the wheel already, that's why I wanted this particular one.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
 

Rich, sometimes these rules are so darned hard to interpret, I did e-mail NHRA tech concerning this and was told the factory column with the adapter bolted on IS indeed legal for competition.

Oh and I really need to get me one of them '67 Camaros!

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
 

If my partner ever decides to sell I'll give you a shout...I'm sticking with the El Camino myself. :D I solved all my wheel problems on the Camino by installing swing-out bars and a factory tilt column. ;)

Love the Elco! That white bar is beyond sweet!

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
 

General regulations require it be welded. Whoever replied to your email must have only looked in the "Stock" section of the rule. I got caught on it is how I know. I got mine from Summit and don't think it moved the wheel at all.
