I just ordered this wheel but did not order the install kit, you guys didn't need it correct?  You just modified the wheel?  Thanks

Probably have to buy the whole steering wheel for the horn switch and then the cap probably 15 or 20 bucks for a decent one.  I don't know . . . 30 or 40 bucks tops I would think.   :dontknow:   As cheap as possible!   :grinyes:   :grinyes:   :grinyes:

Are the caps and horn switch specific to the tuff wheels?

Has anyone found anything that will remove the leftover glue from the Grant outer ring? :clueless:

Hey, that does look nice.   I might try that.  What did you use to strip it?
