I have installed a Grant Wheel on my 1600 (see photos on web site below)
I used their adapter # 3592. Purchased off the shelf at Pepboys .

Only had to do 4 mods to make it work.

#1  Turn Signals - I epoxy glued 2 stainless pins into the holes that are
already in the adapter.
to protrude out and engage the turn signal return tabs.  Took a little bit
of experimentation to get the length right.

#2 Post Cover - I had to shave a small bit of plastic off the turn-signal /
ignition switch housing in order for
the post cover not to rub.

#3 Horn - I found scraping the paint off the area under the retainer contact
ring made for a better ground.

#4 Horn Cap - Epoxy the spring into the cap permanently.  You will be glad
you did.

Last be careful not to turn the wheel as you are running the horn wire
through the wheel and post cover.
It will cut the wire in half before you can as "Datsun"
