steering wheel swap
 
over the next few weeks Im planning a few more major upgrades..is there a steering wheel adaptor available for the HHR??I dont really care about loosing the airbag..heck I can sell that for few bucks for sure..Id like to swap out for a more custom look..has anyone had the wheel off??what am I lookin at>??just hopin I dont have to tear it apart just to have a look..or if anybody has a part number for a steering wheel adaptor..

i think there is a federal requirement for airbags. if you go to trade in a dealer may not take it. they were not supposed to sell anything with out seatbelts a while ago.

accually Ive looked into that..Im good there..Canada is a little more easy with car customizing..ive found a few adaptors just more curious to what Im lookin at..somehow Ive gotta make this work..

Pyro. I think your best bet would be to contact the steering wheel manufacturer. If they don't make an adapter hopefully they can "steer"
(pun intended) you in the right direction.

Pyro-

That's one sharp wheel.. I would love to swap also, but I'm kinda enjoying all the buttons on the oem wheel.. :wink:

I just picked up a new version of the double din stereo head..with bluetooth for handsfree drivn..touchscreen..the wheel buttons dont really help much anymore but could be added if ya got real handy..im willing to loose them and since the pass side airbag will be disconnected also..gives me a whole new idea for the dash..Ive located the proper hub adaptor from Grant..I hope this works..if not..Ill make it work..lol..

Pyro. Throw up some pictures when you get the adapter. And I'm guessing the steering wheel is made by Grant also.

the instructions(lol)..say works well with Grant adaptor..I guess I should have read them first more closely..lol..instructions...bah!!!followed by a "doh!"
was ebay find..raptor trading

hey man, i swapped the basic wheel to a gm leather one. I got lots of pics of the innards if needed.
From discussion on the occ site I thought they didnt make wheel adaptors for our cars.
