Ask me if my car has rust!!!  Group: Members Posts: 619 Joined: 25-February 06 From: Pittsburgh PA Member No.: 5,634  |
I have a new job working nights at advanced auto parts. I've been eyeing a grant wheel, but it was $118. Just got marked down to $45 plus I get a 20% discount.
So I think I'm going to bite. My question is, how do I mount it to the collumn? Apps chart on the back of the box lists a 911 and 914-6 (different splines right?). What about my 4? Someone out there must have a grant wheel. Thanks. |

IIRC, grant quit making adapters for the /4 awhile ago. It also depends on the year of the car from what I understand.
I would check ebay and put a WTB ad in the classifieds. |

What I did was cut the rivits holding the stock wheel from its mount. Drill new pattern into the mount and bolt it on

And make sure to use titanium drill bits they make the job so much easier! If you dont find the spacer i have one. It's the piece that goes between the wheel and spline adapter. |
