Anyone fitted a grant wood steering wheel on a similar car? Grant has a 15" 3- spoke wood classic look one but sites I've seen are not clear on which specific wheels fit my application. Unless of course they are all pretty much universal fit and the correct install kit is the key - in which case I still have no clue which kit to go after. any info in this appreciated. Got power steering so can probably go a little smaller diameter..floor shifter..

I purchased it from someone here who purchased it and decided to use the stock steering wheel. That is about where I am. The wheel and adapted looks good and fits just fine and the horn button is the barracuda emblem.
I have a small momo type wheel in my 67 fish. The adapter needed was the hardest part to find. Momo to shaft diameter and spline count with a 1 inch spacing were my requirements in searching.
A Grant dealer ( Year One maybe ) should know which adapter you will need for your make and model.

Yes. I have one on my car. I'll go get some pictures on my lunch break and try to find the part numbers for horn adapter and stuff that I had to order.
I would rather have a black stock 67 wheel and horn. they look better than the 68 horn.
Here are my reviews on summit;
Steering wheel:
Looks ok, feels good.
GRT-966-0
I am somewhat unhappy with the level of craftsmanship of the steering wheel. The wood should either meet around the outside, or the steel central core which is sandwiched between the two layers of the wood should be even with it to provide a smooth surface. It does neither, and the depth of the gap varies. -1 star. I was also a little disappointed that the page did not detail that one needs to buy the horn spring/contact mechanism. -1 star. The 15 inch diameter is nice with manual steering on my 68 Barracuda.
Horn kit:
It does the job

The grant wheel that I bought needed this kit. Unfortunately it didn't come with it and it didn't even SUGGEST that one buy it. It works with the Grant 966-0 steering wheel.

Do you like having the Grant wheel versus the stock steering wheel. I think my fear is my car will be completely as the original model. Not certain I would like the different wheel. It is 15 inches which is the same as the original
No. To me the stock steering wheel feels better to my hands because it's thinner, but it would also make my wallet a LOT thinner than the wood grant wheel... =(
