Default Where to order adapter to run Nardi steering wheel?

Anyone have a web site to order the hub adapter for a Nardi steering wheel? I know a few on here are running them.

Thanks

Are you aware that a non air bag wheel will void your insurance?

AS far as Nardi goes, wouldn't they be the resource to find a hub for a C5?

Why would the lack of an air bag affect the insurance on my car? The air bag doesn't prevent an accident or deter theft of the vehicle.

I personally dont like the Apsis wheel at all....I just think it looks big and awkward. If there was any way to swap a C6 wheel into the C5 and get the Deep South Vettes D-style wheel, that would be worth doing

The air bag prevents serious injury, ask you insurance company to pay your medicals bills without an air bag and they will deny the claim. If you don't believe me call you agent and ask him, if you remove the airbag, how will it effect your insurance and medical insurance coverage..

Since 1972, owners, manufacturers, distributors, dealers and motor vehicle repair businesses have been prohibited from knowingly "making inoperative" any part of a device or element of design that has been installed on or in a motor vehicle in compliance with a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS). Examples of such modifications include removing airbags, modifying door latches or reducing available crush space.

Those are Sparco Roadster 2 seats. Sadly discontinued now.

I love my Apsis wheel. Feels great in my hands and is slightly smaller diameter than oem.

If you really wanted a C6 wheel, Apsis does sell an adapter to fit one in a C5, but you'll lose the airbag functionality.

As for an aftermarket wheel, try this link for info on adapters.

thanks
