Grant 791 steering wheel
I'm looking to replace my stock steering wheel and I like the looks of the Grant #791.
In the tech description on the Grant web site said it's a direct replacement which is cool.
When I look it up on the Summit web site it says it's for a tilt / tele columns only.
Does anyone have on a non tilt / tele column? My car is a 71.

I just purchased the mahogany version of this wheel (Grant 794) with the understanding that it's a direct fit for my 68 (no tilt/tele). If you search the forums for "Grant 794" or "Grant 791" you'll find a handful of threads. None of them mention them not being compatible or requiring an adapter.

I have a 78 and I purchased the same from Amazon last year. Yes, it did fit on my hub. But what they don't point out is the difference in the depth of the spokes. Hope I am stating this correctly. The grant is not dished out or as deep as your stock wheel. Therefore I am stretching my arms more. I am considering having my original wheel rebuilt or purchase another one which is deeper.

I did do a search. Couldn't find a specific post tilt/tele versus non tilt/tele.
I didn't pull the steering wheel yet.
I'm going to order one and will confirm fitment.
I was hoping the reduced dish and diameter will make the car more comfortable to drive.
Thanks for the replies.

no mine is just a fixed column. I just wanted to let you know it is a good wheel. mine been on the car for I would say over 10 years now. by the end of this year I'm going to put a after market tilt column in and I'm hoping the wheel fits that column. I was able to use the horn button an all it fit right on the column.
