Grant Steering Wheel Question

[money pit]

I'm thinking about replacing the steering wheel on my 70 Barracuda. Does anyone have experience with installing Grant steering wheels? If the crush can is not used, do you need to purchase the 2 inch spacer? I was looking at the installation instructions online. It uses a plastic piece to cancel the turn signals, which led me to believe the crussh can is not used. If you don't use the spacer, is the steering wheel at a comfortable position? Thanks

Probably depends on which one.
I got the Tuff wheel copy. It was a direct bolt on.
No changes to crush can or turn signal issues.

I have the same wheel on my 70 Challenger and I had to open up the 3 screw holes a bit but know real issues. You will need a horn button kit from Grant.

I sent back the wood wheel. The wood joints were separated and the wood sandwiches the metal, which is visible, making the grip to thick.

My Grant tough wheel bolted right in.

I got the cheaper vinyl covered tuff wheel, not the leather one. IMO the wheel is an easy install and looks fine. However, the grant horn button you’re supposed to buy with it is trash. I would buy the tuff horn retainer from Classic Ind. for $20 and use the factory switch and tuff button. So much better!
