And everything in my car worked perfectly fine. I had a horn, turn signals ect

 

the spline count is NOT the same as there is NO master spline cut in the MOMO hub. I am not sure you understand this, and thats why it has to be hammered on. The material of the MOMO hub is not robust. The taper is totally wrong, does it matter? If GM didnt think it mattered, they would not have put a taper on it to seat the hub correctly. You have to remove the clock spring because of the cancelling windows being totally wrong, NOT because of the taper.

FACT IS, you dont have the facts straight. And does it bother me that you have to manually turn off your turn signals? Thats the least of the list of things that make what you have done, exactly what I said it is.

I dont make these hubs as a "for sale" stock item. I make them custom for folks who want to do it right and want an aftermarket steering wheel. As the stock wheel is pretty decent and does a lot of things right, then of course, few will spend the money to change the steering wheel and do it right.

 

It may not be made by Powell or Powell quality but it does in fact work and the splines fit as they should. The clock spring does in fact need to be removed so you have to manually turn your signal off but all other functions still worked and operated fine. I've ran into the same thing on other platforms as well.

 

Do I need to make a video to prove you wrong? Seriously man come on now.... Never and I mean never did I have to hammer this hub on! In fact I will make a video to prove you wrong

 

Not without seperate switches for the horn. no cruise. and no airbag. But you are a prudent driver, and take what you consider to be acceptable risks. I would not recommend anyone disable their airbags. What you do personally is an individual responsibility. Recommending it for other folks is a different issue, speaking of ethics.

For the race track, I dont recommend air bag activation in place.

show me the master spline

 

If I had to hammer the hub on red flags would have been thrown and I would have never installed the hub period!

 

I don't see an airbag in your fancy setup or in your sparco wheel...... And yes I disabled the driver side airbag with this setup but the passenger side still operated 100%

 

How's this, don't buy either because it deactivates the driver side air bag

 

I dont run an airbag. Its my car. I dont recommend people do this. I use this car on the track, and I chose to not run an airbag. My horn, turn signal cancel, ptt radio switch all work. Lsat time I looked, if one air bag is disabled, none work. Thats the way airbags work in a car. All or nothing.

 

We can chat more about this later, I gotta take the daughter to gymnastics and do dad stuff!

And for the record everything worked perfect besides the turn signal cancel

 

Went to junk yard and pulled off stock steering wheel to fit mine on and see if it slid on with out any issues or force. It did no problem and the splines lined up as well. The only issue is the momo hub does not have the spline boss on the back like yours does so you have to remove clock spring assembly and in doing so you lose the automatic reset of the turn signals so with the momo hub you have to manually reset the signals. Your piece is nicer no argument there buy the momo does in fact work and the splines matched up as well

 

John 350 sounds like a good price! This everything minus the steering wheel correct? Also comes with quick release option?

 

i sell the hub drilled to install the wheel. No reason that you cant install a q-d hub, but note that the hub we make is longer than stock to bring the steering wheel closer to the driver which is desirable for racing. That might make it too close for folks with longer arms and taller upper torso...as it is custom made, that dimension can be changed easily enough. Some of our race car builds the seat is reallly far back....for weight distribution....

 

Bump... does anybody know for sure if the NRG SRK-170H hub will fit the cobalt? It says all Chevy, but I want to make sure before I buy it.

 

No

 

about a year ago I had a local guy claim that it worked. Turns out he hammered it on and didnot have turn signals etc etc as the clock spring module was smashed; last I heard he was selling the car...just as I understand it of course, having looked at the parts and made the adaptor.

After a while I have to say it gets boring explaining it over and over. I have reviewed the NRG parts. There is no master spline on it. The taper is wrong.

Put another way, if I am wrong, how is it that the only guy I know of on here who has an aftermarket wheel on their car that works is me?
And the only ones I know of that have the aftermarket nrg one, have to do remote turn signals and no cancelling?

oh well

 

Master spline? Looks like it has splines to me. Honestly, I'd buy yours in a heartbeat without second guessing if it wasn't a crazy price compared to others.

Its amazing how many people do not understand the concept of a master spline.

 

That's why I'm asking more experienced people who have more information than me before making a purchase. Thanks for the insight. I read through this entire thread and couldn't find any useful information on aftermarket hubs. Only a forum vendor bashing everything besides their own product and people that know everything without sharing their "wealth" of information.

 

John really wasn't bashing, just merely explaining why a couple of other hubs didn't work and then pointing out the reasons all while some other guy got pissy and started attacking him.

Yeah Powell parts are expensive, but when they're all custom made specifically for a dead platform, what do you expect? Its not like there's a whole slew of vendors making parts for us. You want something done right the first time? You pay more initially.

 

Then read it again because that is not what is happening at all.

Powell is the ONLY one that makes the RIGHT product that fits OEM.

 

Thank you! I read it and could not find a definitive answer from anybody beside the vendor selling the product. Since I haven't done an aftermarket wheel before, I wanted to make sure I was doing it right.

 

Powell knows his stuff.

 

There are other options besides Powell's hub (NRG and Momo); however, they DO NOT fit right. The spline sizes are close, but not the same and they do not fit properly on the hub. Neither can utilize the clockspring and one will most likely crush it. They are definitely half ass installs and are not recommended. [I could see them on a track car or something though (dirt, circle, etc), but this is a whole other topic].

 

1. Dont be a cheap ass when modding.

2. Especially when it has to do with saftey features like your steering wheel.

3. Yeah, powells' stuff is usually more than the rest, but guess what this stuff is made for our cars specifically and there is a lot of R & D put into Powell's products.

4. Yes you can go on ebay and find cheap ****, when it breaks you will be wishing you were not such a cheap ass.


Powells wheel hub isnt even that much $$$, if your just doing it to look "JDM", please dont. If you race your car and it will be there for a purpose then you already know racing aint cheap, so quit complaining about price ....


end rant lol
