you will need a MOMO steering wheel hub adapter, beyond that they are all about the same bolt pattern, most run a 320mm wheel. there is a thread about it on here somewhere several peeps have done it.

I'm running exact same setup. Love the smaller wheel. No issues to date, been running like this for almost 2 years now.

Grant 630 wheel with the grant steering wheel adapter. With some grinding and modification I was able to keep the clock spring which will allow me to wire the buttons through that and I'm even going to try to mount my stereo controls back on it.

I run the genuine Momo adapter and a fake (eBay) Momo 320mm dished 3 spoke wheel. Definitely MUCH nicer to drive with than the POS bulky stock 94 wheel was.

I had to trim about 1/4" off of the back of the steering column surround, where it meets the Momo adapter, for the adapter to torque down properly and clear the steering column. Other than that, easy install. My horn button works also.. the adapter comes with the required parts for the horn, you just need to figure out how to wire it properly.

I went with NRG and NRG wheel adapter. Very easy install and love the smaller wheel and ability to remove it (quick disconnect).

I went with http://www.getnrg.com/index.php?rout...roduct_id=1570

I went Momo with an NRG adaptor and Sparco 2" extension with my own design cover to integrate into the steering column. I hated the ribbed rubber sleeves most have over the adaptor.

Im using the momo adapter and an nrg wheel that i got a good deal on. I had planned on switching it out for a higher quality wheel later but its grown on me. Yes the horn works it was easy to figure it all out.


Btw Im also in Wv currently. Parkersburg area for now but plan on moving back to Ohio in the future.

Gm pretty much used the same size spline and nut on all it's steering shafts from the 50's up into the late 90's. I had it saved somewhere with #'s but can't find it at the moment. I know I picked up a used grant wheel with install kit at a swap meet for 20 bucks and it bolted right up. If you get an install kit/hub adapter for a third gen you'll be good to go. Like some one else mentioned all you'll have to do is grind a little bit of the color away so the cone fits like it should. Horn is super simple to figure out too. I said f it and snipped the connector off the clock spring at the bottom of the column after I had everything un-hooked and just slid it on out.

This link posted earlier has the NRG #'s that work, just cross em over to grant.

can anyone tell me if the airbag light being on would also trigger the service vehicle light. My car came with the momo steering wheel and the air bag light and service vehicle light are both on. No other lights are on

thanks

I don' t see why the two would be related. Scan the car to see what codes are set. If you can't do it yourself, take it to autozone or some place and they can scan it for free.
