Amos Minter in Dallas. Amosminter.com 972-931-3357. It is different not only in size but it is not flat. it is concaved. It does not have a key corresponding to the steering shaft spline so be careful how you mark and remove your original. It is much easier to get in and out though.Anyone know where to get the smaller steering wheel for 57 TBird?
I got mine through Summit racing I purchased a grant steering wheel and the adapter kitAnyone know where to get the smaller steering wheel for 57 TBird?
That's where I got mine. It shipped quickly and seems to be identical to what the regular vendors sell including all the same problems with the splines and horn ring not fitting correctly.The best price I have found is on Ebay for the 15" American Retro steering wheel
Can you share a pic of it? I like the Grant products, as I used one on a 74' super beetle I have been restoring and it looked great, but wonder what their product looks like in a Tbird. I wanted mine to look like the original, just not the bus size 18" stock wheel.I got mine through Summit racing I purchased a grant steering wheel and the adapter kit
If you want it to look like the original the 15" repo's do. I've seen pictures of Grant wheels but to me that look out of place unless it's in a resto-mod. Here's picture of my old and new repo wheel.Can you share a pic of it?

That looks great. Did you have issues or problems with the retro 15" wheel as some others have reported?If you want it to look like the original the 15" repo's do.
