Foxbody steering wheel

[Scoyne21]

I’m looking for ideas on what type of steering wheel to get. I’d like to find one that will fit in my 88 Fox that has radio controls. Newer cars have way nicer wheels aesthetically and feel. There might not be anything that I can use that has radio controls already built in. I can figure out the wiring I’m just looking for what will bolt in. I had a focus svt wheel here and tried it out but the bolt hole is tapered and wouldn’t fit. I added some pictures of both and where my car came from to where it’s at today. I’ve been building and tinkering around with it for the last couple years. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

I tried to do this a long time ago. The problem is when you stick an airbag steering wheel on a non-airbag column, the placement of the wheel rim is off. I stuck an SN95 wheel in my car and it was awkward to drive with. The wheel was a good 2-3" closer and it was hard to reach the turn signal stalk

This is a 20 year old picture of when i did it. Didn't last long and I promtly removed it and abandoned the idea.

Really if you are going to go down this path, you want to start with a 90-93 column. Sn95 wheel swaps can be done with those columns. You can always reconfigure the cruise buttons for radio controls if you are good with wiring. Newer wheels have changes how they mount to columns, so not sure what would be compatible these days.

Another option is a momo style wheel with the saleen cruise button adapters. A little more period correct and again, if you are good with wiring you can repurpose the cruise buttons.
