I am buying a custom steering wheel and i need to know if the telescopic column is a 2" or 3" travel. The steering wheels are sweet thought, you need to see them I want #30965 (Flame) what do you guys think

For what they are charging... MOMO wheels looks far superior to me (I plan to get the MOMO "RACE" model wheel once I get to interior mods). And honestly I would never want the "flame" wheel in any car (save for perhaps a vintage hot rod with a similar theme). Of course - get whatever you like! -

I have a 1985 corvette, and i have looked into MOMO steering wheels too, but for me i would rather have a solid custom steering wheel what do you guys think

Well, I think a Sparco or MOMO steering wheel is a better match for the Corvette than a Street Rod wheel, but ..hey.. that's just my opinion.

Sorry I can't help with your question; my column is not a tele.

i looked at some grants that looked good for cheap, and then i saw the cost of the adapters--nevermind losing most of the telescoping function.

i then tried to find a wheelskins cover to fit my 85, and none of them fit. i ended up getting a fat foam cover from checkers and stretched a two-color, wet wheelskin over it and it came out great for $65. when the leather dried, it tightened right up, and now it's fat and squeezable.

that skinny wheel was driving me crazy. it felt like a model t.

here's a ratty pic of my low-budge upgrade:




i've still got to put some saddle soap on the horn button et.al. the wheel may not look as good as a momo, but it feels better with finger grooves from the original spongey cover.

it isn't exactly straight-with my health problems, i had to get a little juiced to do the monotonous work of threading the cover. i've got to tell you it feels tremendous. if you are going to thread yourelf, get ready for a numb finger and a lot of thread pulling. i'm low budget and performance oriented. this did much for little for me.

Do not overlook the driveability aspects of replacing the stock wheel with something like a MOMO. For those of us who drive on the track, the steering wheel is one of the key "seat-of-the-pants" connections between the track and you. On the track, precision and feedback are critical to going quickly. A large diameter steering wheel, like the stock GMs, tend to isolate the driver from the front tire attitude. A smaller diameter wheel transmits input from the track more obviously to the driver's hands. Conversely, a small input on the smaller diameter steering wheel has a greater effect at the front tires.
Just some additional food for thought.
