I realize this topic has been fairly well discussed but please bare with me.
My son gave me his Grant steering wheel that I would like to put on my
67 Alpine V w/adjustable column. I'd rather not sacrifice my original steering
wheel (although it is in very poor condition) to fabricate an adapter but will if
necessary.
Researching the Forum archives there is strong evidence that a 80’s Mazda RX7 adapter from Grant (part #3597) will fit our Alpines. It seems conclusive but one poster described his splined shaft as ½’ w/36 teeth and another poster described his as 5/8 w/39 teeth. I measure mine at 5/8 (.615 actual) w/36 teeth.
I realize that I may have to give up the column adjustability “on the fly†feature and I am fine with that.
I would like to hear from any members that have used the Grant RX7 adapter or members that have definite knowledge that the RX7 adapter (part #3597) will work.
Thanks… Terry Alfreno
