    Default Steering wheel upgrade

    Thinking about upgrading / replacing my steering wheel in my '86 Sunsport.
    Curious to see what directions others have gone, or what ideas have been considered.
    Not much out there of interest when you perform a Google search (steering wheel boat).

    What kind of adapter/kit did you need to get the Grant to work?

    Thinking about this - always had a thing for the steering wheels in my Dad's 67 Vette.
    Adaptor I'll have to figure out, but there's lots of options.

    No any adapter needed, it's direct fit. I simply built a hub extension as the Grant was closer to the dash than the factory wheel. You can check it on my Saltare presentation in the pirde and joy section :

    I also had a key on mine, and it tend to turn the wrong way when you pull the steering Wheel off. Nothing to do with the extractor as well, I had to drill up of the key on my old aluminium hub to move the key the right way, then the Wheel comes by itself. Unfortunatly the old supra steering Wheel is dead after that swap :

    Those are nice, and not too expensive. I've been a fan of Nardi wheels. A buddy put one on his nautique, it was nice.
