OTOH, I am quite fond of my Grant steering wheel...
To make a short story long, I picked it up several years ago at the
Chicagoland MG Club annual swap meet for $25 or so, brought it home, and
found that the Midget I had at the time refused to reliquish the steering
wheel it already had. Yes, I know all about pouring hot water in your lap
and all those other techniques for removing steering wheels. They just don't
work very well when the DPO has beaten the end of the steering column into a
mushroom. Very depressing. Then I took another look at my "new" steering
wheel and realized that its previous owner had re-drilled the arms to fit a
standard MG hub. So, I just un-bolted it from its MG hub, bolted it onto my
Midget's MG hub, and we all lived happily ever after. My MG horn button even
fits and works. Never ever give up!
I don't think I will tell you about the Mark Donohue steering wheel
though...
