My friend and I attempted to put a Grant steering wheel in my 65 fastback. Well, now the steering has slop and can move fron side to side, plus there is a gap between the column and the cover that came with the kit. Please tell me what I am missing....
Are you sure you got the right adapter kit? Mine fits/works fine. I think I still have the adapterkit box in my spare parts storage. If you want I can look up the number of mine.
Yes give me the part number, I am using a grant 3294??? I really appreciate the help!!! Ialso used the stock turn signal cam and they may be the fit problem???
The gap can be fixed by loosening the two bolts that clamp the steering tube to the dash and sliding the tube up a bit.
The slop is probably due to not getting the shaft nut tightened enough. Mine loosens up and has a little extra play at the wheel. I can feel it as I change turning directions.
Well, I just learned a good lesson. I got up early and took a fresh look at the situation. I went to ace and got three 1/4 bolts so I could pull the steering wheel back off. I left the factory spring out and the washer was loose that the spring mates with. I push the washer back in place and no wobble. Now I have order a new spring because my friend threw the other one away... I tried the column thing but it seems to be stuck. I will attack that again when the engine is out....
