Re: [Amc-list] steering wheel mounting kit

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

I'd try an early 60s Ford kit. I bugged Grant about this years ago. 
Their best suggestion was to cut the spokes form the old wheel and use 
the hub as the adapter, using the puller bolt holes to fasten the wheel 
on. If the spokes are ground down the cover goes over it and no one ever 
know. Of course the early Rambler wheel doesn't have puller holes, but I 
think there's enough surface to drill and tap holes.

Now you just need to find some store that will let you try one before 
buying, or won't frown on 2-3 returns until you get the right one! There 
should be plenty custom shops who install steering wheels in your neck 
of the woods, I'd try one of them. If they open an adapter and it 
doesn't fit they'll just use it on another customer's car. Of course 
they might want to just charge you to install yours then not tell you 
which adapter they used...
