Folks:
Since my '91 is really never raced anymore and is primarily a street car, I put the airbag back in. So, I'm left with a Grant Formula 1 style leather wheel and adapter. Three spoke wheel, best I've had (better IMHO than the Momo MonteCarlo I used to have). It the only wheel I use when I need one.
The adapter is actually listed for '89 and earlier cars (since it's illegal to take an airbomb off). But the adapter worked fine on my '91 car, and I suspect will also do the job a-okay on a 4th gen car as well.
The wheel is in great shape. The adapter cover (nearest the column) is a little nicked up where I had to shorten it to keep from tearing up the column cover...........
$80 shipped (as long as you live somewhere reasonable.....)

Yep, the adapter will fit a 4th gen, that's what I use on my 2001. If you ask them they will say it won't fit, but they just don't want to get sued for helping you eliminate the airbomb.

you would have to post this during a week when i don't have money.

I'll be interested in a week or two, when I have some cash again. If someone else isn't smart enough to pick this up in the meantime.

Sorry, no digital camera...........

If you go to Grant's site (grantproducts.com) and go to Grant Racing. You'll find a Formula 1 wheel. Same thing, but mine isn't D-shaped, and has "GRANT" painted in red under the horn button.

Just curious Sam, how much roughly does a stock 01 Z28 steering wheel minus the airbag weigh? I may be interested.

A stock wheel with the airbag gone weights about the same as the Grant, it just looks a lot worse......

On an LT1 expect to save about 10lbs vs a stock wheel with bag. Maybe a little more depending on the actuall weight of the wheel that is replacing he stocker.
LS1's should be close.

Hmmm, I might get this if nobody else does. What diameter is the wheel?

Does anyone want this thing? Considering it? If not I'm going to try and move it elsewhere.
