Steering wheels
« on: July 17, 2015 - 06:31:26 PM »
Waiting for the repop rim blow steering wheel that I ordered. Of course it's backordered with no estimated date of delivery. I have decided that I'll probably just get mine refurbished but I'll need a steering wheel to fit my crush can while I wait for the restore. Anybody know what wheel brands have either a direct fit or an appropriate adaptor? I've searched on line but it is about as clear as mud!

Are the tuff wheels and rim blows interchangeable?

You should be able to dismount your current wheel, and put this one on with the same 3 bolts.  Don't remember if the horn switch is in the wheel.  Switch looks something like this.  If I remember right, mine had a switch mounted on the steering wheel.

Besides, get it from Summit or something that have a great return policy if it does not work.

Yes you will need a horn switch though.

I seem to have a collection of standard 70-71 steering wheels. I'm pretty sure they are breeding when I am at work. The collection just seems to grow on it's own.

How are you guys getting the horn button off to access the 3 bolts?

I don't want to break anything.
