alabama41 Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 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.

mfg Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Yes, custom steering wheel adapters are available for most any '57 and newer Studebaker, pre '57 is a different story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avanti83 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 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. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alabama41 Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
