Since I am not keeping "Angelina" totally stock, I'm leaning on going to a custom steering wheel. One that is much smaller in diameter. To me the stock one is too large and I am a small framed person and find it a hassle. I like the looks of the Grant wood grain wheel. I think they are 12" or 14". I would like to know what input folks here have on the installation of them and if they are reliable in as much as the horn is concerned

I am not a 100% sure but I believe Grant makes (or made) an adapter kit for the bird. I may even have the kit info at home (@ work now). I’ll take a look and see what I have.

As far as Grant's go I'm happy with the one I have on my Pontiac nice feel and horn works fine, I'm sure there's a boss kit for the bird

Thanx for the input. From what I can tell, there is an adapter kit. I intend on restoring the old wheel. I was blown away how much they go for!"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: Wow - what a ride!"Comment
