  • Steering wheels

    Does anyone know the part number for an instal kit for grant steering wheels? I checked their web site but they didn't have one listed for the festiva. Just curious if anyone has installed one before and how they did it. Thanks!

    I imagine if you cross reference the mazda rx7 and other mazdas you will find a hub kit. Have to do a lot of things backwards to upgrade these cars. We are no honda civic.

    It's a MazdaFordnKia thing, and you will understand!

        Try '84 Mazda GLC. That's what the hub for mine is initially for.

            The reason I'm putting the grand steering wheel in is because I found this (pic) I want to put it into the Festiva. The Festiva is "more than meets the eye"

                        25Horseplay is on target! I have a Grant "Challenger 414" steering wheel on my Festy. The adapter for this wheel is indeed the GRT-3597. One very minor caveat... I had to install washers under my adapter "puck" to keep the back of the steering wheel from rubbing on the plastic steering column surround. Be aware that other Grant models might require a different adaptor!

                        Be prepared for the changes that a smaller diameter wheel causes: the rim now obstructs part of the tach & speedometer and it requires more muscle to turn the car at parking speed. However, at highway speeds, you need to drive the car with your wrists! Subtle angular changes are required at speed!

                          Ok, Acording to Grant, there isn't a kit that works on the 93' festiva. 92' & older they have but they said there was a change in the steering column that made it not work on the 93's. Anybody know about this?

                            I have a grant with a kit for 323 on my 92, if that helps. I wasn't aware of a change between 92 & 93...
