STEERING WHEEL

[alabama41]

I have repaired my broken steering wheel, but I am wondering how long it will last. I was looking at some Raptor wheels and wonder if anyone has used them or has any information about the adapter needed for installation.

As long as you can use the Grant steering wheel adapter kit with that steering wheel you're ok. I believe the Grant kit number is 4286 but check that on their website for sure. They're available through Summit Racing. I've seen them on eBay as well.

Yes, custom steering wheel adapters are available for most any '57 and newer Studebaker, pre '57 is a different story!

I repaired the Banjo Wheel in my 39 Ford with POR 15 two part epoxy and painted it with catalyzed DuPont enamel. It lasted over 20 years until I sold it. If you repaired the wheel by undercutting the breaks and missing parts, it should last a long time.

I decided to use the repaired steering wheel, but alas, it broke again(I guess I didn't do such a great job on the repair). My final solution to the problem was to install a Raptor wheel with a Grant kit and it worked out very well. I can drive again.

I would be interested in a photo of the new installation if you have one.

Thanks

I'd be interested in the broken wheel.Let me know if you'll sell it.

Thanks
