Been lurking and reading posts on quick release steering wheel hubs, but so far I haven't found anything that meets my needs. Like some others I want to avoid welding as much as possible. I really liked the no-weld setup described in edwardb's build thread, but the modifications are more than I'd like to have to do (although they don't seem too difficult).
After hours and hours of searching, I finally ran across the Grant 3025 quick release hub. The hub is made for fox-body Mustangs which apparently have the "Double D" style shaft— which looks exactly like the FFR supplied shaft, and I assume has the same dimensions? The wheel adapter will need to be modified to fit the 6 bolt vintage pattern, but I think it will just be a simple matter of drilling some extra holes. So, theoretically (as far as I can tell) I should be able to slip the hub directly on to the FFR supplied shaft, drill 6 holes, mount the steering wheel, and be done with it. Famous last words
A few questions:
1. Is anyone aware of different sized "Double D" style steering shafts? As far as I can tell, they all appear to be the same dimensions.
2. Does anyone have opinions on the quality of Grant quick release steering hubs? A few people say there is quite a bit of slop, but they generally get great reviews.
3. Does anyone have specific experience with the Grant 3025? On an FFR steering shaft?
