8-bolt steering wheel?

[winnparry]

Hi Guys,
I am new here. First post.
Seeking some help finding a replacement steering wheel. Mine is an 8-bolt which seems to be an odd size, and I cannot find a decent wheel with this pattern for the life of me.
Does anyone know if adapters exist that can take me from 8-bolt to a 3-bolt, or a 8 to a 9-bolt?

Hey Winn, welcome to classicbroncos!
Sorry I can't help, but interested in what others say.
Until then, what year is your Bronco, and do you know what brand the steering wheel is by any chance?

Any markings on the wheel at all? It's not stock for an Early Bronco obviously, because a factory wheel only has one nut in the center that goes down over the main shaft to hold the wheel in place. All the ones with multiple smaller holes around a larger hole are either aftermarket like Grant and Lecarra and such, or perhaps a later model Ford "sport" wheel from another vehicle. Any of those would need an intermediate adapter.
I believe ours all have 9 holes, and I think Grant have 3?

I'm sure someone has come across the dilemma. Hopefully they have an answer for you.
You can also upload an image if you have one so we can see and maybe tell from that. You can't just post an image directly to the discussion, but you can use your "garage" and "gallery" functions up above in your User CP.

To post directly you would need to become a contributor for 12 bucks a year.
If none of that works, you can send some pics to me at paulb@wildhorses4x4.com and I can post them up here for you.

Good luck!

Paul
