I would love to pay off someone in the SCCA to allow aftermarket wheels in SS. The stock c5z wheel belongs in an 18 wheeler.

I've been in this thread since the beginning and there actually isnt a pic of the quick release hub or the adapter, theres only a pic of the carbon fiber cover... unless I'm missing something.

I can see pics of Grants, Momo's and even a bit of the Pfadt one... But no ATI.

Damn I read this whole thing and didnt even recognize you haha. What makes you want the ATI Specifically?
NRG has quick releases for around $80 and you can get hub adaptors too for around that price!

Hey guys. We are still around and making our quick release steering kit and some other misc. parts for the C5's. Sorry that it's difficult to get a hold of us. I would like to be able to tell you it's going to be easier in 2011, but I haven't heard anything about getting a new web page up and running. Sorry, but if you would like to get in touch with me you can either give me a call at 248.848.9200 ext#160 or drop me an email at makerley@accuratetechnologies.com. I you do call and I'm unable to get to the phone please leave me a message and I'll return your call as soon as possible. If you don't leave a message I won't know you called.
Back on topic though, our C5 quick release steering kits come as a complete package. You get the quick release hub, the adapter hub for between the steering wheel and the quick release and the necessary hardware to attach it all together. We also offer an upgraded kit that includes a carbon fiber closeout to cover the rather large hole left in the factory plastic surround when the stock wheel is removed. The base kit sells for $280.00 and the upgraded "premium" kit sells for $350.00. We also stock a couple of Sparco steering wheels (part #'s 383 and 375) if you would like to purchase everything at one time as a complete package. The Sparco wheels sell for $239.00. I see there have been a couple of requests for pictures so here you go and thank you for your interest in our product.
Mike

Sorry for not stating, Leather

BTW Is you CF cover ONLY with that whole kit, or could you sell it seperately?

We can probably sell it seperately. It would be $70.00 plus shipping. I think I might have one on the shelf and if not I think i have the material to make one up.

OK thanks Whenever you get the wheel price if you could pm me a total and then shipping to 21788 that would be great!

Well, after being on the fence since the beginning of this thread, I finally made my decision and ordered my quick release. After talking to Mike at ATI I decided on their kit. I also ordered the Sparco "ring" steering wheel in leather. Can't believe it took me so long to make a decision on something that seems so simple.

So I'm guessing I'll have to trim off the raised "flange" part of the column cover? Also, what's the easiest way to remove the turn signal switch cancelling wheel (I'm guessing what that little cogged wheel is)?

I got the ATI kit and when I asked Mike about mounting the carbon fiber cover, he said yes you need to trim that lip part..using a dremel or something. I was going to install mine next week. Can you tell me the easiest way to get to where you are, I just pulled the fuse for the airbag and disconnected the battery. What did you do next?

Thanks
Steve

Here is the best write up I found.

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/atta...el_removal.pdf

I didn't rent a the special legs for the puller.
I used two 4 inch long bolts that I modified to fit in the slots. I used my bench grinder to grind them flat on two sides (I had to grind the thickness of the head a bit too).
It worked great.
