Steering Column install

Hey Guys! I need some help with a steering column install. I purcased a Competion Engineering steering column and came with a Moroso quick disconnect hub. It has three holes to mount a steering wheel to. Can I purchase a steering wheel that will mount to the hub or do I need to get installation kit. I haven't purchased a steering wheel yet.

The other question is does the column have to go all the way to the steering wheel or can you have any of the steering shaft exposed.

the steering wheel should fit without a installation kit my hub fits right on the steering wheel I have a Grant the 3 holes lined up perfet on how much shaft can be sticking out I am not sure mine sticks out about 6" but it should be in the rule book.

Jim

Thanks Jim for your reply. My shaft sticks ouy about 3 or 4 inches. I'm going to order a wheel tonite.

If you have a smaller 3 bolt pattern quick disconnect hub & a bigger 5 bolt pattern steering wheel (like a Grant), a number of company's do offer simple/cheap adapter plates. Or you can just make one out of .090" steel or .125" to .1875" aluminum.

You can hang a little bit of the inner steering shaft out of the outer shaft, but not too much. I really wouldn't go past 3" to 3.5" if possible. The more unsupported thin wall inner steering shaft there is handing out of the column, the easier it is to bend that inner shaft when getting in/out of the car & pushing the car in the shop & in the staging lanes. And a lot of people often forget (or don't realize) they are actually pushing on the steering wheel instead of the roll cage when moving a car around.

you right about the thin wall tubing wasn't thinking about that mine is a 3/4" steel steering shaft out of the factory steering column.I was wrong when I said I am not sure mine sticks out about 6" that is to the outside of the steering wheel the shaft is only 4" out
