Steering wheel Queston?

[Blanco]

I've heard that a friend/Sponsor of the Raffo team just had his Bad Ass Trick TJ Jeep stolen from San Diego Airport parking lot.

I'm assuming it was a secured lot & I know he had the same alarm system as myself...

& considering how much cash I've been investing in Blanco, I'm getting concerned about Blanco's security. :o

So I've been wanting to install a Grant Security system I use to have a while back.

& since you must run a Grant Steering wheel or adaptor, & that I see no need to keep the factory Cruise control, I was considering getting a grant wheel.

I'm figuring I dont need nothing fancy..

Just a funtional comfy Wheel, Like this one.

This wheel is dirt Cheap & I think would do the job I need it to do just fine..

I'd prefer to spend $30.00 than $300.00 for a trick Momo...

Is there something you racers would recomend I consider before getting an after market wheel?

I was also considering this center pad just in case. :cool:

I've had that very item on my Bronco for about the last 12 years or so and I still have it so I guess I'm either lucky or it works :-).

I know you want to take the cheap route with wheels, but I'll warn you that most Grant wheels are cheap - and I don't just mean inexpensive. My Grant wheel bent on one of the first 4 wheeling trips I took it on and you know I'm not exactly a hulk of a guy. I've had several wheels since then that have worked much better. I may be somewhat of a wheel snob, Blanco, because I currently have a Momo wheel and I love it. My machinist makes an adapter for whatever wheel I'm using - one downside is that my horn no longer works.

So you have the above Grant on your Bronco.

whats the Momo on?

Hey Todd,

Would your machinist be open to making an adapter for a fellow Class 3 member? If so, let me know what he's charging. I am picking up the sweet mfg. quick release and I want to mate a Grant 742 steering wheel. I agree, the grant's aren't the strongest wheel but I have a 742 and it's very comfortable.

I guess I should have been more clear - the Grant on my Bronco is the locking Q-R setup you posted. The Momo wheel is bolted to the Grant Q-R via a machined adapter.

Yeah, he might be open to that. Got any good pics of the Sweet setup online? (I have a quasi-idea of what it looks like) and also a pic of the wheel.

Thanks,
Todd

Here is the quick release:

This is the wheel:

And I don't mind if I lose my horn.

Thanks Todd. Where is your guy located?

Is the adapter Momo makes to mount to a Grant hub different than what you need for this application? This seems like something many companies would have on the shelf. Here is a 30 sec search.

Thanks for the link Moss. I can't tell if it works with the quick release set up. I'll give them a buzz and see if I can get more info.

[Blanco]

Yeah I spoke to Grant yesterday & theres lots of adaptors for Momos or most of whatevers available out there...

I think that will probably work. I remember looking at some of those adapters when I got my wheel. One problem with my installation is those adapters put the wheel too close to my chest. But that's less likely of a problem in a big Bronco than in an EB.
