Anybody know is the earlier steering wheel will fit on the later steering column?

Thanks.

-=JEFF=- may know. I think he is running a earlier converted column in his ZR-1

Will it fit? yes..

I went beyond just installing the Earlier wheel on my 1990.. I swapped the upper section of a 1987 to my 1990 mounted housing, this gave me both the earlier style if chose (Using a Momo) and also gave me the telescopic feature as well.

any air bag / air bag light concerns?

Not quite sure I understand, as I have zero mechanical skills and would have a friend do this. So, this gives you both tilt and telescoping? My contribution will be finding a 1987 "upper section" on eBay... Can you give me any more guidance on what to look for? Part names? Really appreciate the help.

Since he went with the Momo setup up there is no Air bag .... Light blub was prob pulled from DIC

GC is correct.. the Light bulb was removed (some point BEFORE I bought my car)


Gordon.. I bought a complete column from an 87.. 86-89 should work. I also bought a 1990 column (not needed) as I wanted to work on the column as time allowed. then I merged them together to get what I wanted..

the simple answer is you can swap to the 89-older wheel, but there may be a gap on the housing the steering wheel outer plastic.. I had the early wheel in an 89 I put a 1991 dash in, this time I wanted something different



I really like this wheel give the car a completely different feel

Thanks much, Jeff. Got it and know what I need. I have Momo's or Nardi's in my other cars and a few extras lying around. Very nice wheel you chose, btw. (I have no concerns whatsoever about the airbag. They weigh a lot and add no safety value for me anyway...)
