AMC Rambler Interior Upgrade - Install A Custom Steering Wheel

The entire Grant installation kit is about $25.00 and comes with a new post cover, hub, horn button retainer, and hardware to put it all together. If you don't know what kit you need, a quick way to tell is to set the factory wheel flat on a table next to the aftermarket wheel sitting on top of the hub and post cover. If both assemblies are the same height and the boltholes line up, you are good to go.

Next, we added the factory spring and Grant replacement plunger and taped the wire to the hub so it wouldn't escape.

Almost there. With the post cover on, we installed the wheel with the adapter mounting bolts to make sure everything fit.

After turning the wheel left and right to check for interference, we torqued the wheel retainer nut to 25 ft-lb.

With the wheel retainer nut tight, we removed the mounting bolts and added the horn button retainer with the fiber side out and connected the wire lead.

The last part is the horn cap and spring. It is way easier to tape the spring to the back of the cap before installation.

Have a friend reconnect the battery, making sure you have the horn button depressed so it immediately blasts him in the face. It's sort of a tradition. Then do some smoky burnouts, enjoying the oversteer with your new wheel.
