Ebay changed the link somehow...it clearly showed a 3003 earlier.

Edit - They changed it again...showing a different item and another date as well as being out of stock lol.

I have called everyone on the internet... and they all say "oh sorry, out of stock".

My buddy came by today and picked up the templates for the fuel cell brackets and the weight tanks. Dropped off the carb to another buddy and he'll check the carb for warpage and put new gaskets in it.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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.
