Aftermarket Steering Wheel Adapters for the XR4Ti

SoKalXR · Post by **SoKalXR** » Thu Nov 29, 2007 3:22 am

Anybody know which adapter you have to use to put a Sparco or other aftermarket steering wheel on an XR? I'm looking to put a smaller diameter (and better looking) wheel on an XR.

It's XR specific, at least in the N.A. listings. Momo part works with a Sparco wheel... I'll dig up the #. If you get stuck, I have an extra one here. Not too hard to find. Summit can help with the adapter for a Grant wheel.

Mike's correct - one look at the steering column stub will tell you why.

Only other alternative would be to fabricate an adapter. Some of done this by using an original XR steering wheel as a donor.

Would someone mind posting a link to the adapter for MoMo/Sparco wheels so that we get the correct item?

Thanks,
Peter

The Grant one is really nice. Very well made piece. With a 12" steering wheel, I've got plenty of leg room now!

Nice, I have the same problem and I'm a pretty slim guy. I don't like the feel of the stock wheel either. It seems spongy to me and really dampens road feel.

I like how it all came out. You can't do any one-handed parking lot maneuvers with a 12" wheel, but it's not too bad. I can grab a picture of it if you want.

Momo part number: 4517
Grant part number: 6534
I can't imagine driving an XR with that floppy wheel... ANYTHING is an improvement.

I don't know the part number off hand, but I did convince Checkpoint Racing that they should order a bunch of them to stock when I had them get mine. I think they still have a few.

I've got a "Tazio Corse" adapter for a MOMO Competition steering wheel. The adapter was purchased through Snap-Off. Snap-off's PN is listed as S32 but that sticker is over another label that looks like it says 32.1. The "Visual Design" of this adapter "FURNIK."

Snap-off PN: S32 - www.snap-off.com
Tazio Corse PN: 32.1 - www.taziocorse.com

The Snap-off sticker also says that the part applies to Escort Mk3, Orion 80-86 and Sierra.

This thread is FAQ-bound so now is the time to add to this thread.
