Default Steering Wheel Replacement

For those of you that have removed your stock air bag equiped steering wheel. If you weighed it how much? Some have replaced the stock unit with a Grant wheel, what installation kit did you use? And did you need to modify the kit fot it to work. I would be interested in any aftermarket steering wheel information, not just Grant. Thanks.

When I replaced my wheel, my first choice was Grant, but they wouldn't talk about an adapter for a non air bag wheel and I couldn't find one. Since then, I've seen a post on this board or on LS1.com from someone who did find a Grant adapter. I subsequently bought a LeCarra wheel and adapter from http://www.julianos.com The problem with it, and also with the Grant adapter was that they were both too long and needed to be shortened, mine 3/8", in order for the wheel to seat properly. Make certain the wheel does seat and torque to 25fp without the adapter binding up. You can disable the airbag light by inserting a 2 ohm resistor in the connector on the yellow air bag wire. I've also seen a pic of a MOMo wheel installed in an Fbody.

I've got a Billet Specialties wheel in my car. I used their non-airbag adpater and everything bolted up easily.
