Banjo steering wheels.
-
Hudnuts, I like the look of the Banjo steering wheel that Grant and others sell. Has anyone out there tried to adapt one to a stepdown?
-
Not sure what year your car is that you would like to fit a banjo steering wheel to, but, Hudson did use them in the early and mid 30's. You might contact Grand and see if their various adapter kits would work.

Wow, what a great looking wheel and dash. My car is a 1950 Pacenaker. The stock wheel is all cracked to pieces.
-
I think the hudson shaft spline is the same as 49-56 Ford F100. a 11/16 40 spline. I would consider a used 30's hudson wheel before a Grant aftermarket, even if its a little roughed up. I like the Large 17 or 18" diameter Banjo wheels vs. the 15".

The earliest Hudson or Terraplane banjo wheels were 1936.
-
Up to 1936 wheels had a woodruff key to locate them on the shaft,. After that they were splined.If you're stuck in a hole, stop digging.
-
Last banjo wheel was '39, I believe. And that's a rare bird indeed.

Thanks for the info guys.
