I find my steering wheel in my Carry lacking substance since I'm pretty sure if I sneezed hard while gripping the wheel it would break like a chicken bone. Also by adding a 13" wheel would add some more room to the already cramped cab. Has anybody installed an aftermarket wheel like a Grant?? Were you able to find an install kit?? Thanks in advance..
I've seen "momo's" in some of them but, can't say for sure how they adapted them. It has been done though...
Do all vehicles use a splined shaft to attach to the steering column?? Is it a universal size?? I've been looking at kits and they all look the same but am wondering if the shafts are different size.
I found that the wheel is held on with a 17mm nut and has 30 splines. Does anybody know if this will cross-reference with any other brand?? I sent an e-mail to Grant steering wheels so hopefully they can help out but it doesn't hurt to ask here either!!
Got the new steering wheel on!! Took less than five minutes to install with the kit I got from Grant. The shaft is 30 splines and is the same as a Suzuki Swift, Samurai, and Sidekick and uses the Grant part #4510 and a spacer part #4001. I have $75 in the whole thing which I didn't think was too bad. It added some extra room and feels 100x better than the old wheel.
I actually set my foot on the edge closet to the door when I drive. My ankle would hurt with the actual gas pedal so out came the grinder and a little welding. Very comfortable...
Wheel looks good.Not sure about the custom gas pedal though.Anyways the way i drive I could use a manual choke set up for throttle lol two speeds stop and to the floor Acctually most of my miles have been highway as it is about a 3 minute drive to work.My foot tends to tire being held to the floor for an hour +
Gilalwin, try Partsource, JB auto, Mopac, NAPA or Bumper to bumper, all here in Edmonton. I have a Grant wheel on my Acty. Alot better than the original Robert
Subaru Sambar steering install kit You are throwing people like me off by not telling them you have a Suzuki. This kit of yours does not fit on a Sambar. Does anyone out there know which kit does?
I picked up a grants steering wheel but does anyone know which installation kit is needed for a Subary Sambar?
I have given all the information needed for everybody to make their own decisions on what they need and how to get it. Yes, it is a Suzuki but with the info given you should be able to figure out what will work. Sorry for any misinformation...
The best way I have done it was to bring in the steering wheel to the custom shop (JB, Mopac etc.) and match them up. Sometimes you get lucky. Robert
Look at the first post... danish most certainly said he was driving a "Carry", if I'm not mistaken ... zuki is the only manufacturer that brands a truck as a Carry. Slashin folks that are trying to help will only convince them to keep the little jewels of knowledge to themselves... z
I would love to find a smaller wheel for my toyota, just i would miss that space age 80's horn button! lol. it would be nice for a wheel that is a bit smaller diameter, bit thicker to hold on to and sticks out more, kinda like a "craiger" wheel i got in my regal. and for the gas pedal thing, mine has a screw under the pedal that you can adjust for setting your "cruise control" at highway speed. it effectively works as a limiter. Also since mine is diesel, i have an idle adjustment knob. can idle it up quite a bit.
I just installed a racing wheel I had laying around here in my Sambar pickup. I used a Grant adapter kit. I can grab some numbers off it if anyone wants, just shoot me a pm.
So the adaptor kit from grant 4510 will NOT work. I currently have grant searching for a kit that will fit. The shank is 5/8” and there are 36 teeth. I will inform what I find
5/8 doesn’t sound right. How did you measure it? Just about everything on a minitruck is metric. 16-mm sounds more like a probable size. If you search eBay, and set the location to worldwide, you may have better luck.
You may be righ you may be right on the exact size but I am currently running the 3390 adaptor and grant wheel with no noticeable play. The size is slightly smaller than 5/8, hence having to play around with 3 different adaptors. I have not figured out the horn deal yet so I just pulled the fuse. There is an adaptor specifically for this truck that you can order from japan that costs like $25+ $60+ in shipping. I learned about it after the fact but no harm since the grant Adaptor was like $18 on amazon
