Just grab any old cheap steering wheel from one of these cars...or a Stang.It's just temporary anyway.


Oh yeah any Fox platform wheel will work as a temp plus any of the ones off the boxy Crown Vics and Grand Marquis before they got airbags!

You could always make a new cover yourself. Trust me it is simple.
All I did was take the factory cover off measure up the new leather to the old cover. Then folded and glued the edges down. Then you need to poke the holes and stitch it on.

Stuckman


With the four spoke wheel I am using now I purposely cut the stitching at the seam and took the worn original leather wrap off intact and saved it just in case I needed to have it duplicated.

Show me a pic.I'm not against swapping out the TC wheel.I'd like something that fits the car,looks good,and,if possible,has cruise.If not,I can find out how to move my cruise buttons to the dash. Also not a big deal to me.

WOW !!! That's nice. I want something close to that,but a little different.Hard to explain. I need to hit ebay and shop around.I assume you need an install kit for it?If so,it doesn't push the wheel out does it?

Grant also has cruise button kits to work with the cruise cars... The buttons slide in and out depending on the thickness of the botton spoke.



Grant's adpaters do not push the wheel out.
