what the title says will it be a direct bolt in without any mods???

 

It will directly fit but the turn signal canceller will not work. The steering wheel will stick a little too far forward. I have a 2nd gen steering wheel on my 1st gen. You need to grind down the metal on the back of the steering wheel about half an inch or so. Maybe a little less. This lets the wheel sit farther back on the shaft and engages the turn signal cancellers. When the wheel sits this far back though, the steering wheel bolt doesn't hold the wheel on tightly. You run out of threads. To resolve this I installed a couple of washers under the nut and all works perfectly. If you are unclear about what to grind down, try to install a 2nd gen steering wheel. You'll see what I'm talking about instantly. The mods you need to do only take a few minutes if you have a die grinder. If not, you'll be there a while.

 

Funny,my canceller works and I have a 3rd gen wheel on mine.No grinding.The tabs on the backside look the same as the 88 FC wheel I have on my Samurai and my brother has on his 86 Base.Maybe we have different cars,mines an 84......

 

my 87 TII's wheel in my FB worked perfect until that one shear pin thing in the steering column broke, now its messed up, but before that, cancellor worked etc

 

My canellor had no probs working but that ****** pin came lose after 2 months. I bitch slapped it into place and broke the ****** thing. I aint doing nothing like that again unless its straight bolt on. Learn from my mistakes brother.

Don't go there

 

yeah no grinding, bolts right up works fine and sits all the way down with no gaps
