So I recently inherited my fathers '74 914. I'm 6'6" and the steering wheel is a little too large for my legs. I had a similar problem in my '74 super beetle, but I easily swapped the wheel for a smaller aftermarket one. I have looked into Grant steering wheels but I have no idea which adapter to find (I can't find it anywhere). I am also wondering if the splines and basic geometry of a 914 hub are similar to a VW's. Since I don't have the car yet, I'm wondering if anyone has put an INEXPENSIVE smaller wheel in their car.

If you're not in a rush then watch the classifieds here and on Pelican Parts. Tonight I installed a Dino leather 3 spoke wheel I purchased a few months ago. It's a leather wheel that came with the adapter and I picked it up for $30.00 shipped to my door ! Can't beat clean used purchase but you have to pounce when you find one. Good luck.
