Default 1975 Steering Wheel Ridge Help
Hey CF:

Here is a picture of the back of my original steering wheel:




My new aftermarket is completely flat on the back and doesn't have that ridge. What am I missing?

Is there a corresponding bump on the steering column?
If not and it is flat, you should be ok.

How in the world do I go about getting one of those inserts now?

Put an Ididit tilt column in the 68 which came with a circular piece to fill in the remaing part of the steering wheel to work on a flat adapter.

They may sell that piece by itself.

I'll look into that, may call Grant direct for that small part as well.
