Re: GM Steering Wheels
I think they look similar to Sy steering wheels.

Re: GM Steering Wheels
They make look similiar but the Corvette wheel is a smaller Diameter and thicker (86 up), they are quite different. Having owned both and removing the steering wheel off of both, I would have to guess the steering wheel is not interchangable. The Corvette has the telescopic wheel assembly that is basically in the hub. It's been a while since I have had them off, I can't even quite remember what the Corvette hub is like anymore.

Re: GM Steering Wheels
Its easy. Pop off the horn button, and everythings exposed. Take off the center nut (impact makes short work of this), then using a steering wheel puller (absolute must for this) thread each leg into the wheel, with the center going into the divot in the shaft. Slowly and evenly, tighten the puller until the wheel comes off. Installation is the reverse, except no need to use the puller
A word of warning: be absolutely certain the wheels are straight ahead and the wheel is sitting like it should when removing it, and when reinstalling. Being off one spline will result in having to repeat everything. Its not hard, just annoying.

Re: GM Steering Wheels
I can find the bar stock to redo the wheel, and have it rolled into any dia I want on a buddies roll machine. I also found a company that would do the leather and padding in the stock shape(so it would look 100% stock, but smaller). I had to supply the original leather that showed the stock hand budges and the thickness they were. Which was no problem as I still have that as well.
But the over all cost to do it was like $800. :roll: Which at that cost I said no f'ing way. If it were like $300 I would have done it. But thats a total rip considering I'm the one actually re hooping and welding it back together. All their doing is adding the rubber and semi cheap leather.
I looked into redoing a stock sy wheel, but a inch or inch and a half smaller in dia. (I actually still have the bare wheel sitting here in my room. lol) Its not hard to actually do. All you need is to re hoop the wheel, and trim off the extra center bar bracing and have it redone in leather.

Re: GM Steering Wheels
Outside to outside is 14". A bit smaller. I don't have the ZQ8 steering box conversion & this wheel is pretty sensative for turning. Slightly larger grip for comfort too. Paid $350 for it in '92. I love it.:tup:
