steering column,need help

I am doing an lsx swap into a 91-92 camaro with an airbag but I want a grant steering wheel,possibly with a quick release and I am finding that there isn't one to fit the 91-92 style column.I was wondering if I could swap an older non airbag steering column into the 91-92 and how I would do it?

Thanks for any help

Re: steering column,need help

I didn't know there was a difference in the column itself, just the air bag wheel vs. non-airbag wheel. Have you contacted Grant about this to verify? Does Grant (or whomever) make a wheel for the 4th gen cars? I do know for a fact that a 4th gen wheel is a direct bolt-on in a 3rd gen car.

Columns are the same, just the height that the steering wheel mounts is slightly different. The adapter and trim cover will stick out if you keep the airbag coil in the column or it will sit in too deep if you remove the airbag coil and cause the steering to stick, since the trim cover gets recessed into the column.

I removed the coil and then ground down the black trim cover in the Grant kit on my car. I've got a 91 column in my car.

my brother is using the Grant kit in his 96 Trans Am without the trim cover, I'll see if I can take a picture of his so you can see how it looks.

Re: steering column,need help

I was wondering about the same thing. if i have read all the posts correctly then an non-airbag column is a direct bolt in for the 91-92 camaro, correct?
