Aftermarket steering wheels

[DuceAnAHalf]

does anyone have one? i need one for my 85 because mine is disgusting, what adapter is needed to fit, will a mustang wheel work?

[RustyShackelford]

I thought about getting a removeable wheel a while back...
http://www.grantproducts.com/default.html . Of course then you would need a Grant wheel to go with it. THere are lots to choose from. The prices have kept me from doing it..... so far.

I want this wheel for mine, I've been looking at it for a month now.

I like that idea of take ur wheel with you. I wanted to change my wheel for a while but didnt want to loose my cruise control.Since they have a kit so i still can keep teh cruise control im going to do it..

check out grants website, they make an adapter kit for pre 90 boxes. im going to get one too... because the column seems to be the same spline and everything... they just dont offer a kit for 90+ because they dont want you removing the airbag.

The other difference in the 90 and up boxes is in the turn signal conections. Its not just the airbag. I looked at swapping one off and 86 onto my 90 and you cant.

YEah, it would be a good security measure. I have been wanting it ever since I got my last car stolen ('93 caprice PI with cragers) but it had an airbag in the wheel. Now I don't have to worry about. I would hate to lose a car like yours that you have dropped some money into the looks and go good!

the turn signal connectors or anything related has nothing to do with the steering wheel itself. what are you talkin bout?

Maybe it was the cruise? Id have to take a picture and show you. Maybe ill tear it down this weekend. There was some electrical thing that wouldnt let it work but i dont remember what.

not saying it won't happen, but case in point. in 1984 there were only 12 crown vics reported stolen its a different story nowadays, but i guarantee a thief would be more interested in the rotted out corolla across the street than a pristine box.

besides, you'd look funny going into the mall holding your wheel

back on topic, i'm getting a wheel out of 95-97 stang for shifty

[marquisman]

i cant take an 88 box wheel and put it in my 81 merc.

[Paul_]

why not, i thought the columsn from 79-89 were identical. 90-up has an airbag column so i could see that not working. but an 88 wheel should work on an 81

[marquisman]

my 81 has a tappered end with a retaining nut, and the 88 has splines and a retaining bolt

DOH!

I used a grant install kit with my wheel. Worked fine. They even make a cruise control setup for their wheels so you can keep cruise! It's easy to check the type of shaft that is used. Just pull the horn button off and take the 15mm bolt out.
