New E body steering wheels from Grant

[Hopalong]

I don't know if this was posted before or not, but there is a new steering wheel from grant just for E bodys!  Looks really nice too, almost factory.  http://www.grantproducts.com/default.html

I thought the link would go to the wheel.  Click on the CLASSIC wheels and go to the wood wheels.  It's number 246.

I like!!!!! Looks like an economical alternative to getting a rimblow. I like it much better than the standard wheel and it wont break the bank! Great find.

You and me both brother! My 71 seems so far from paint and assembly that all I can do is make out fake wish lists that always seem to total about 25k lol

I like it a lot,and it's a great alternative for us guys with our non big dollar cars like me.

I'm not too crazy with the non-oe looking wood myself...this one appears to be leather.

I like them both but except for the rivets the wood one looks better to me, much more like a rimblow. Either one would definitely be better imo than the oem black/woograin wheels.

Looks even better in the car imo

that shifter does nothing whatsoever for me though

I just ordered one, even though I agree they could have done without the rivits. I had bought a Grant wood one for my 240Z and the rivits on it were painted, which I liked even less. Good thing about Summit racing is I can buy 3 or 4 to look at in the car and just send back the ones I don't want. Steering wheels and seats are both parts that really can't be bought by sight from a catalog, you have to see and feel them in person.

I just put that woodgrain wheel in my car. I'm not crazy about the rivets either, but the wheel looks good. It definitely has a Mopar look to it.

I likey Mikey. It would be a better match if it was a darker walnut like the rest of the interior accent. Maybe it could be sanded down and stained darker? I think that would really make it blend better with the other interior trim. Or maybe I've been watching too much "Design on a Dime" this weekend

That wheel look nice MEK, 

I wonder if a rimblow center cap would fit or be made to fit the horn switch?

[Hopalong]

Don't the factory tuff wheels take a specail adapter?  The grant wheel would only take a grant adapter, easier to find if nothing else.  I'm on the "just dreaming" boat right now too.

The A & B bodys need an adapter.  The tuff wheel will bolt right onto an Ebody crush colar.

Maybe if your car came with a tuff wheel to start with?  I had to buy their adapter kit, since my car had the woodgrain wheel. The center cap is different from a tuff wheel(as far as the prongs go). So, I needed the $29.95 adapter kit, of which most parts were useless to me.  Thank goodness for Home Depot, and some creative thinking, I got it all to work.
