Re: Grant steering wheels
I like the Challenger series. They are inexpensive compared to some of the other ones and I think they look good.

Thanks for all the pictures and advice. Couple more questions. Whats the stock steering wheel size? And, this installation kit worjs for the Gt steering whell i want right, http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

I saw a thread in here about a few other members having problems with them falling apart and stuff, so Im gonna try one of these anyways and hope for the best if not Ill see what kinda warranty they have on thier product.

Re: Grant steering wheels
Well I called up grant just now to check on what installation kit id need ans she told me that they dont support steering colums orginally equipped with air bags, so I guess Im SOL and gotta go back to stock

Re: Grant steering wheels
Frozer, they just can't say they support it for legal reasons. I think liabilities fall on them if they support a SRS steering wheel (safey restraint system) because their steering wheels make using a SRS impossible. PLENTY of people have grant wheels in cars with SRS.

Re: Grant steering wheels
Frozer, don't quote me on this because I haven't done it yet. I think the mounts for the steering wheels are the same throughout 82-92. Difference being hookups for SRS (airbags). Try to do some more searching say....91 92 aftermarket steering grant wheel and see what you come up with.

Re: Grant steering wheels
Will our original horn buttons/center pieces fit the Grants?
The only reason I haven't swapped mine out, is because I like the GTA emblem on mine. If I could move it to a Grant steering wheel, I'll do it!

Re: Grant steering wheels
I would like to get a horn button for my grant. That has the Camaro Z28 logo. How hard would it be to get one or make one.

Re: Grant steering wheels
Ok did a search and found out some people installed a grant in thier air bag equipped thirdgens. Only thing they did was pull out the air bag "clock" so I just ordered the parts we will see how it all fits. Thanks guys.

Alright couldn't get text to work in the post above nor move those dang images around but the first one is in the iroc-z (hate that wheel grip is way to firm) the next few are the challenger in the firebird pretty nice wheel but everyone and their mom has it. I currently have a sparco in the iroc (was in the garage and it has a way better grip) there's a fairly new grant out it was in the year one camaro on forza motorsports showdown and you can pick it up at autozone it's chrome leather grip two bars on the bottom flat sheetmetal with slots to the side i think it's called the clubster or something like that looks nice haven't driven with one yet.
