Joel,I have a chevelle re pop right here I am puting in mine. still need to buy horn cap and kit . I bought it on ebay a few years ago for a chevelle I had it was a factory reject becuse of a few cracks got it verry cheap. also have a camero 3 spoke here and the chevelle 2 spoke wood is about 1.5 inches shorter across . the chevelle wood is 16.5 and tha 3 spoke camero is 15 inches. close enough for me but I am not a purest. and who will know ?
Have you seen any Nova hubs? they would be larger in diameter than a Chevelle unit.john,i gave up looking for that two spoker years ago,iam just puting the stock ss wheel back on.i have seen only two cars with that rare wheel ever!!
let alone the hub setup.it sure looks good in the 1st. gens :yes:

I have an Impala hub It is big enough in diameter sitting here with it now and a floor shift 65 collum. it is slightly larger so it would acualy slide over the edge of the collum . sorry guess I missed you're point about the hub. I have been piecing this together for my car. I had the hub off a impalla tilt i picked up at a swp meet. from what I rememberit was supose to be a 66??? hope that helps. I do not know if they are available aftermarket or not. anyone know if a 65 chevelle horn button would be the same as a nova used??Have you seen any Nova hubs? they would be larger in diameter than a Chevelle unit.

I will try that latter . have not put it on the steering shaft in the car .will see what i can do in the light tomorow. but I need a email add to send a pic to becuse I do not know how to use aJoe,
can you take a picture of how well the impala hub matches up with the 65 nova column?
Is the impala hub to tall? have you tries bolting everything up?
They might have been available as a factory install in 1967, but as far as I know they weren't in 1966, nor are they shown in the 1966 Custom Features Catalogue as a dealer option.Did they actually come from the factory that way.......... or a dealer install?? I had mine here for sale (almost NOS a year ago) and no nibbles. Ebayed it for $650 complete with hub & horn set up. Now it's worth about a grand!! They are on ebay all the time. The Corvair one is a smaller dia, I believe. I have a couple of pics but I'm out of town right now.

What is the dia of a stock Nova steering wheel?? I just picked up an awesome Corvair wood wheel. It's 15 3/4 inch in dia. which is about an inch in dia smaller than the Chevelle one I sold on ebay!!corvair and nova are 16"
chevelle,impala are 16.5"
which makes the nova wheel even more rare!
If you just got that wheel of ebay from volkman,then i know who you got it off of.The wheel did indeed come off a Corvair, so I would say yes it's 16 inches...
sorry about that. It's still a GM piece that is not reproduced and is mint!!
