Steering Wheel?
« on: February 28, 2010, 02:15:09 PM »
Anyone have any advice on where to find a nice steering wheel? I have a '78 Challenger and want something clean and not too crazy looking.

should be able to pick up a Grant wheel at any autopart store for less then $100. They usually have all the adapters also.

I got a grant steering wheel from Elimantor.  only reason i went there is because everyone else was sold out.  Best steering wheel ever!  Feels great and looks even better.

Thanks for your guys' input (except for the chain wheel comment...haha). I ended up getting the Grant Formula 9 (Slotted Polished Spokes-Black Cover). I like it a lot

Sweet wheel.

Question for everyone...

Can you adjust the wheel to center it with the jet ?

 I screwed up my steering cable install.  Now my wheel look llike I'm going left when I'm going straight, sucks !

That adjustment is made at the jet.  The nut right below the red cable.  The slide area is your adjustmemt.
Is yours set up that way?

If it's a rack type, remove the rack and center the helm, then reinstall the rack. Slight adjustments to perfect it are then done at the cable. Worked on the Pickle.
