I just got a Grant steering wheel, and it doesnt go down all the way to the cluster, there is about a 4mm gap. I'm wondering if its not on all the way.

Whats yours like?

FD Racer

I got a momo, no gap
are you sure the turn signal notch is on right?

Yeah because they turn w/ the steering wheel (you can see them inside), and they are not being crushed, they are just partially inside the hole.

Hm. I Tightened it down hella hard, but it looks like it still needs to go in some more.

I had the same problem, Just keep playing with it. it will slowly go down. You kind of bench press it into plce, not a bad work out.

Which grant? Is it the adapter? Or the wheel itself? Sounds like the adapter but wanna be sure.

Its the adapter, the splined hub that goes over the splined shaft (steering column). Perhaps just tightening it down a bit, day by day, by day, i can get it all the way down. oh, and its THIS grant:

And carl could you please correct my dyslexia in the title? its supposed to say "steering" wheel, not settering wheel.

m"I nto lysdexlic, ohnest!!!!!!!

Rx7carl

Done. Geoff, you did align the splines when you put the adapter on right? Ive never had any problem with one of those. Maybe remove it and check the shaft splines and adapter. A little clean up with a file and/or sandpaper may be necessary. Just roaching down something is never the right way to get it to work. You will most surely break something. I have the same hub (different wheel) on my DD.

Rx7carl

The whole thing moves in and out an inch? Your column shear pins have been sheared. They need to be replaced.

Rx7carl

SOunds like you need a replacement combination switch. Which is the whole thing.

great.... gotta add that to the shopping list..

they better to get used or new?

Hm. Well i know its aligned right... cause one way it woulndt go on at all, the other way it would slide down a bit.

What do you reccomend? griding the teeth down a bit or what?

Rx7carl

Ok, really dumb question. You sure you got the right hub adapter? What part number did you buy? What do you mean one way it fits, one way it dont? It should fit in many ways cause of teh splines.

FD Racer

not to be a dick...but I say take it back and get a momo...seems like thats some shady craftsmanship on grant's part.

There are killer deals on momos on eBay all the time.

part 3597. The package was open when i got it, so maybe thats what it is.

No man this grant wheel is friking FABULOUS. oh man, its the best upgrade to the feel of the car i've made yet (its so much easier to control the car w/ it!!!!)

Metallic_rock

well, if nothing else, it looks damned good!! How much of a space are we talking here? I know mine has like half an inch and that's with the stock steering wheel. (might not be quite that much, but...

FD Racer

.

Metallic_rock

yeah, I'm an idiot... I went back and looked at ioTus's orriginal post.

*smacks himself for everyone else who want's to*

Rx7carl

3597 is the right one. I dunno man. I dont have a column surround, so I dont know how the fit would be. IF your saying the adapter doesnt sit flush with the flat end of the column, thats normal AFAIK. Is it engaging the horn contact ok?

FD Racer

maybe the adapter fits pre 84 cars better...know anyone with an earlyer FB/SA that you can test fit it on?

let me post ***** some pictures of a MOMO fitment

FD Racer

one more

Yeah, yours sits all the way flush to the plastic cover of the console. i'll take pictures of mine sometime. hell i'll go take them now.

Be back in a few.
