    grant reseller

    Heya gang- before throwing myself fully into building/selling complete cars- I did a LOT of parts reselling on ebay and elsewhere. There is a hub specifically designed to adapt a Nardi (and other) 6 hole steering wheel to the Grant installation kit.

    Basically- the grant kit mounts to the column, the hub mounts to the Grant and the wheel mounts to the hub.

    Using this adapter also solves the shallow dish issue with hitting turn signals, etc. Most euro wheels tend to be flat or shallow plane, so this is a common concern.

    Its all straight forward- but I can assist anyone that needs help. Before I slowed down selling parts- I had sold over 1000 Grant wheels and kits over a period of several years.

    Lastly, below is a link to such an adapter I found easily on Ebay. I am not affiliated with this seller- but he seems to have decent prices, feedback, etc. This particular hub is drilled for BOTH 6 hole euro patterns, so that is a no brainer as well. All around, a great part.

    Cheers, Mad Max Mav

    ;) don't be scandalous now... He's just excited about the wheel being an easy fit. I once told the guy who delivered my 72" HD dlp tv that I wanted to have his baby... my wife was not amused.

    You guys are always thinking in the gutter, lmao.

    Grant makes some GREAT wheels that look very much like the Nardi and cost 1/2 the price or less!

    :agreed:

    Other when when it comes to custom billit pieces- I have always gone with a Grant wheel. They have many nice styles themselves and a great number of wheels that are close approximations of other, more expensive brands.
