How does zero dollars sound?

I put a genuine (Made in Italy) Momo steering wheel in my Formula using no adapter. I just slightly bent the metal tabs on the factory steering wheel mount to match the holes on the Momo steering wheel. Done. There was also some fiddling to connect the horn, but it was minimal.

[EDIT 1] Now that I've had a few more minutes to think about it, I also recall that the factory steering wheel mount I used was from a particular style of Fiero steering wheel. Off the top of my head, I forget which one. It might come to me later. (I looked up an old thread I had posted in... I used the hub from an old decrepit GT steering wheel.)

[EDIT 2] I took a quick peek and found the following post (which I hadn't seen before), and TXOPIE appears to have been on the same track as I was... although he mentions creating a "simple thin gauge disc shaped plate with holes drilled for both the stock hub & the after market wheel" which I found wasn't necessary. Click the link below and read what he says.

You will need a GM billet steering wheel adapter. Something similar to this

This adapter gets bolted onto the spline off the column, and the wheel bolts to the adapter. E-Z-P-Z!

I have a new adapter (still in package IIRC) and it would be available for a very reasonable price. If interested, I will locate it, take a couple of photos, and email them to you to see if it works for your purpose.

I am having a slight wiggle problem with my aftermarket Grant GT wheel in my 85. I am pretty sure I have isolated the problem to my wheel adapter vs. the column itself. I am not sure if your adapter would help solve the problem but I am curious to see the pics.

jetfighterv...I realize that you have right of first refusal here. I wasn't trying to poach Nelson's offer.
