the steering wheel in my 89 t/a is a bit worn out so, i was wondering what you guys think as far as a good looking steering wheel?

has anyone seen a thirdgen with a 77-79ish t/a wheel?

post pics!!

 

See my thread:

Heres mine. I think they came in 82-84 birds. Not quite the 77-79 style, but pretty close.

 

sweet! where did you get it? is that a 4th gen console?

 

I got it from a local u-pull it yard a few years ago. Like I said, its from a 82-84ish bird, so maybe check out Hawks or TA Creations, they might be able to find one.

Check these out, just did a quick search on ebay:

last one needs some touch up, and has a different horn button, but still, 25 bucks. You could repaint it and recover the ring for a few bucks I'm sure.

And yeah, consoles from a 96, with an MBA billet ****.

 

wow cant beat that price! how are you liking the 4th gen console over the 3rd gen?

 

Grant makes some really nice steering wheels.
Here's their link = http://www.grantproducts.com/

 

I have always Loved the challenger series from grant

 

i have the carbon fiber grant wheel in mine

 

'pics?

 

I have a steering wheel from a 70-81 2ndgen but its not that great of shape so I have not put it in yet they are also pricey to get these days. For now I like the early 82-84 style t/a wheel:

 

what year is that bird?

 

I love it. I dont think I'd ever own a thirdgen again with a stock console.

 

I have a Grant wheel, I took it out a few months ago when I changed my broken steering column with an airbag one and the grant trim collar sat down too low in the column causing a slight bind when turning. I am going to grind the collar and put the grant back in when it stops raining.

 

very nice! matches your car perfectly. looks like your rockin the 4th gen console to? should i invest in one of these? ive heard they are great but, can anyone explain the pros and cons of them?

 

thanks.

Pros:
Looks stock
bolts right it
has 2 cup holders

Cons:
Have to fabricate window switch plate (Ashtray is where mine are)
Automatic Plate is hard to install but the Manual Plate works perfect with both an auto and manual 3rd gen.

Here is a shot of the entire console when my car was an automatic,

Nothing beats the look of the stock leather steering wheel.

wow how hard was that dash swap?

 

very nice! i think im going to try and find one.

 

I found it easy.

 

I love my Grant Collectors Edition. I paid a bit more for it than the average Grant cause it has real leather for the grip.

Where did you get that horn button?

 

I seen that one on amazon

https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...ac+horn+button

 

Firebirds in Italy! Two!

 

I meant the horn button that says iroc-z. I can't find one anywhere

 

Grant Carbon Fibre

 

I have the same one... and I haven't seen anyone else with it.... Awesome

 

 

I really like my Grant in my '86 T/A

 

How easily did those GTO seats install? Looks very nice

 

Actually just installed this in my 91 tonight (hate the airbags).

 

Thanks man, fairly easy, i used 3rd gen seat tracks, drilled two holes at the front of the old seat track slightly larger to bolt them on and used the OEM studs that were made onto the bottom back of the seats with 2 nuts to bolt the back half of the tracks in. about a 25 minute job

 

This is what I did:

 

Here's mine. Grant Challenger with arrow head horn button. The outer part of the horn button was chrome, so I lightly sanded it and then cleared it to make it appear aluminum.

Before, stock steering wheel:


After:

 

It just depends on the theme of the car that your building.
I'm shooting for the "Old School" 1/4 Mile look and the "Challenger" wheel from Grant fits it perfectly.
(those are the old seats. I'm running 4th Gens. now.)

 

My original steering wheel was getting pretty worn out so I was due for a new one here recently. I looked at a lot of different steering wheel manufacturers and styles and the only one I found that I liked for my build and personal preference for the car was the Momo Millennium. I then painted the center section black from the original aluminum.

 

I went for a modern look as I wanted a thick feeling wheel and very happy with it.

 

Here's mine from Forever Sharp. Gorgeous wheel and well put together kit. Ultimately.....I feel that the best looking wheel is stock, so I've since gone back to a stock wheel. The Forever Sharp, is mint. 10 out of 10. No blemishes and it's for sale it anyone is interested.

 

I know this is an old post but I'm new here. I love that red/black Grant wheel. I'm going to start hunting but is something like that available but with the ability to retain the original GTA horn button?

 

Just bought the 414. It's all black.

 

Stock.

 

I really like the look of the Momo and almost went for it... Got this one instead. Probably not as nice but the entire kit (hub + wheel + quick release) was less than the Momo wheel by itself! ... Here's my thread on the install and here's a picture for this thread..
