I bought this aftermarket steering wheel for my truck on Ebay. It was listed as a Grant but when I received it I found no markings anywhere except the picture of a trumpet on the horn button. It's a nice looking wheel but I have no idea what kind or model of wheel it is or what installation kit I need to mount it. I'm not even sure I can mount it. Does anyone here recognize the wheel? I've written the seller for more information but thought I'd check here in the meantime...

 

what do the mountinf holes look like? most wheels fit the "grant" style adapters. others are mona lita , larger pattern

 

There are five mounting holes in the back which is typical of Grant wheels plus two smaller holes directly across from each other. I have no idea what those are for. Oh, and the trumpet is actually a bugle. I have a Grant on my other truck but it's nothing like this wheel. There are also two tabs sticking out of the back which I assume are for the horn connection...

 

Still looking for information on this steering wheel. Ebay has over 32,000 steering wheels for sale. I looked at about 2.000 before I gave up. Ebay seller says he had a Grant adapter to put it on a GM column and I'm still working with him to get more info. Grant adapters have three holes and this wheel has five and they're wider apart than the standard Grant. I guess nobody has ever seen a wheel like this?

 

do you have a pic of the back side? mota lita was the name I was thinking of there's lots of wheels out there, a little bit of ingenuity will make any wheel work. Grant adapter lend themselves to being modded. I went to pepboys and kept trying adapters to get one to work with my 63 sunbeam alpine. I used an RX-7 unit it was a bolt on. I remember there not being to many types of adapters regarding mounting up the wheel.. how does the wheel attach to the unknown adapter?

Grant wheels have 5 holes 3 for the mounting bolts one for the ground and one for power on the larger plates depending on application??

"Boss kit" is the correct term

The second picture is the back side. Correction...this wheel has six mounting holes in the back. Maybe I can get a better picture.

 

Here's a closeup of both sides...

 

don't see the backside? but it's a killer looking wheel..

 

Vern-
Don't know if this will help but Ididit shows a 6 bolt adapter. Maybe it will give you an idea if nothing else.

Nice looking wheel, I've never seen a Grant one just like that before. I'm not sure if it be considered a banjo wheel or just grooved... haven't been able to find anything.

Have you taken off the horn button and looked underneath?

 

I haven't seen a Grant wheel like this either and that's what I'm wondering. Is it a Grant or something else? I love the wheel and think it will look good in my truck. I will remove the horn button soon and see what's underneath...just haven't gotten around to it yet...

 

the good news is you have a nice big flay surface to work with if you need to make a boss fit. try ebaying "wheel boss" or steering wheel hub"

 

I pulled the horn button off and there was no brand name or number anywhere so I still have no idea who made the wheel. Here's a couple of pictures of the front of the wheel without the horn button...





It appears that it will take a 3 or 6 hole adapter but I'm not sure...

 

I agree 3 bolts would do it. sorry I'm out of ammo... see if a grant adapter or something else in the auto parts sore will bolt up. or sell it to me I'll find a use for it

 

Thanks for your help, Bob, but I think I'll keep it.

Obviously, when the time comes to mate it to my steering column I may have to resort to some "cootie bobbin' " but I'll get it on there. I was just hoping someone had already been through this before. Every steering wheel I've had before this bolted up to a Grant three hole adapter and this is my first 6-holer!
