Posted November 16, 200420 yr comment_102106 I took off the steering wheel on the z I just got. It was an old aftermarket wheel, maybe like a grant gt? The large center bolt was loose, so i removed it. One of the three smaller bolts were loose and I took it off too. Now the problem, the other two smaller bolts were on there really tight, but i was able to take them off. The two bolts stripped the plate that the wheel bolts on to. The one that says "top" on it. Now I have two bolts with surrounded by metal, not a big problem, and that plate with two big freaking holes. What should I do?

November 16, 200420 yr comment_102107 Can you provide a pic it's a bit hard to picture it in my head. I'm thinking it could be part of the boss kit for the wheel itself not sure. As I say a pic would help. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/14019-stripped-bolts/#findComment-102107 Share on other sites More sharing options...

November 16, 200420 yr comment_102172 That plate is the adaptor to accept the after market steering wheel . Don't hold me to this but I don't think those bolt hold the wheel on Ithink they were for the horn button that never worked(99 percent positive). Get a steering wheel puller or have a car place yank it off. The only connection to the steering is the splines.

November 16, 200420 yr Author comment_102173 Never mind, I have fixed the problem. The thing i am talking about, is not stock, and i dont need it because I just got an original wheel. It was like an adapter for the aftermarket steering wheel. When posting a picture what do i put for the URL? :nervous: Thanks Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/14019-stripped-bolts/#findComment-102173 Share on other sites More sharing options...
November 16, 200420 yr Author comment_102175 Daniel you are correct. When I typed mine, I did not notice your recent reply!Thanks Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/14019-stripped-bolts/#findComment-102175 Share on other sites More sharing options...
November 16, 200420 yr comment_102176 Great!! Now the horn contact attaches on the high/low beam and rides on the back of that new wheel. If you went HUH? you may wish to run a wire to a switch to pass inspection.
