New Product announcement     March 18, 2004

Silicone Wire Systems (SWS) is announcing the availability of three new 
products for Corvair High Performance. Two of the three were announced and 
displayed at this years Corvair Performance Workshop in Dayton, OH. 

Today's Item: Steering Wheel Quick-Disconnect kits for 1964-1966 Corvairs. 

Manufactured by Grant Industries for SWS, this new kit enables the racer to 
use the standard 64-66 Corvair steering column, with it's unique, small, 
spline, and have the easy-to-install, tight-spline, bolt-on wheel removal. This 
makes entering and exiting the car much easier! So easy to install, simply remove 
the stock steering wheel, slip the splined adapter over the stock shaft, use 
the original washer and nut to retain it, Then mount your racing wheel on the 
removable adapter and you are ready to go. There is NO provision for horn 
actuation. This is designed as a racing-only product. Some adapters are available 
to use other brands of steering wheels with this kit.
Grant describes it like this:

INSTALLATION:
1. On GM splined shafts, install the serrated inner splined cored onto a 
lightly lubricated shaft. Loc-tite the threads on nut and torque to a maximum of 5 
ft./lbs. DO NOT EXCEED.
2. Mount steering wheel to quick release hub using the supplied bolts and 
washers. Loc-tite the threads and tighten to 10-12 ft./lbs. DO NOT EXCEED. 

As with any precision component, the hub needs to be kept free of dirt and 
the unit cleaned and lubricated regularly.

OPERATION:
This unit has a positive locking feature which requires that the outside slip 
ring be pulled up when initially installing over the inner splined core. To 
install, pull up on outer slip ring with unit started on spines, then release 
the slip ring while pushing down over splined core and the unit will lock on. 
Reverse the procedure for removal.
