I didn't know I was looking for a new steering wheel until one popped up on the local CL here. It was hardly used and less than half price.
The leather on my original wheel was worn almost thru in a couple of spots.







I'm very happy with the results!

They are nice wheels, I have one too. Question is, how did you fit in the back seat to take the pics?

How did you connect the horn button?

Connect the positive wire to the horn button, Connect the negative wire from the horn button to one of the bolts that attach the wheel to the hub to ground it.

I have the same wheel.

That's the way I have mine configured, but the horn is intermittent. Can't quite figure what the problem is.

if the horn is intermittent then its something along the way to the horns as I had the same issue and it ended up being corrosion on the terminal the wire connects to the actuall horns was alittle rusty.

Nice wheel tho and I get one simular as well

Been there done that. Replaced the relay. Checked the horn switch. No apparent problems. Beginning to think the issue is in the column.

Nice wheel. I have the 3 spoke version in my IROC. I sprung for the billet horn button and trim ring, which made a real big improvement to the overall appearance of the wheel.

Hank,

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for the wheel?

Beautiful job, man.

I have the one with the chrome center button instead of black. I love it. I see you have the same mismatched clutch pedal pad that I have, hahahhaha.

As for the horn, that stupid plastic swash plate ring in the column was giving me an intermittent problem from before. I had to sandpaper the copper contacts on it, the spring loaded button, and the underside prongs but its good to go now. Hope that helps.

So many questions so little time.........
Red Rock...... I fit in the back seat just fine, thank you, the problem is when I get in there I can't get out so, I opened the hatch and took the pic from the back.
James C........ I used the single wire in the install kit and connected it to the original socket on the steering column. The wire connects to the center connector on the horn button. The other connector does not get used (unless you have a Ford).
Arvizu9618......... The wheel is listed inYear One for $205. It is the genuine stitched leather cover. It was listed on CL for $100, I got it for $90. It was mounted for a short time in a project car and he desided to go a different direction. The posting was a week old when I saw it.

I was really hoping nobody would notice that. The correct one is available so it will get replaced someday. I can't see it when I'm driving so not a big priority.

Humm, that configuration failed to work for me.

I'm a little confused about this reply .It was asked earlier about the price of the wheel in the photos you posted. Is this reply you posted about the wheel in the photos ?

Marine_Marauder

I paid about $200 retail from Grant. It's on their website.

New wheel looks great. I had a Grant wheel in my 72 Nova and loved it.

Ron U.S.M.C.

I found it on grants site and you have gotten a great deal,nice catch.
Looks great and probably feels even better(.Leather)
Mines the much less expensive one in the Challenger series.(rubber)I had to rap it in artificial leather(I beleave its called "pleather")Definitely not the same feel as leather but better than the rubber.

I need to wrap mine too. The rubber on these Grant GT wheels is a lot better than others I have had, though.

I did have a problem when I first hooked up the wire included in the Grant installation kit. When I first tried grounding the wire to the wheel to check for contact, there was nothing. I thought it might be too large for the tube that it fits in so I filed it down a little and that seemed to do the trick.
