Byondxtrme Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Does anyone make an inlay like that so can put on a grant type steering wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbinator Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 In a word Yes. Depends on what you want for the inlay as you call it. American manufacturers will make them for you, but quite pricey mold costs and. minimum order quantity makes the inlay untouchable. I've made numerous Riviera emblems that turn out with mixed results. Mixed results meaning some were merchantable quality others were not. The most important thing is do you have an image of what your want to recreate for your steering wheel? A pic of the Grant style steering wheel would be helpful.

Second thoughts if your grant type steering wheel will accept the Riviera wood wheel horn cap and you have a Riviera wood steering wheel horn a $150.00 exchange with your horn cap and I send a new horn cap out. If you don’t like it send it back I’ll refund all your money. You pay postage for trip back. Bob Burnopp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir, surfing the internet looking for “ stickers” can fill your bill. It takes a bit to find them, but they are there. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIVNIK Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I bought the Grant wheel many years ago on eBay. It was styled after a Corvette wheel of the same era & bears a strong resemblance to the Riv GS wheel. You could order the wheel w any of their available center cap symbols, the big "R" being one of them. They are buried in an overcrowded shed but I will post a pic if I can find them.

RIVNIK Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Maybe not a "strong" resemblance, as the Grant is smaller in diameter & has three spokes, but the spokes are very similar in design. The main advantage is the fatter, softer rim which gives a more comfortable, modern feel. I used it for years til I found the perfect stock wheel for my Riv "de-modification" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIVNIK Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 The Grant center cap & the Riv cap are not switchable. I believe the Grant cap is a smaller diameter, does not have cut-outs for the spokes and, of course, is no where near the quality of Turbinator's.

I would hope the appearance and fit of mine would be as close as your are going to get to original. Discretionary spending on hobby cars has its limits for most of us. It appears the wealthy that buy $100k cars at Barrett Jackson can spend as they please. It is all in fun. Thank you Turbinator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Schmiddy, Rivnik and I are kidding around. Rivnik never provided a link showing the “ R” inlay for the cap. We were just having fun. He knows and I know there are no other R inlays other than what is in the horn cap. As far as stickers are concerned there are plenty of opportunities on the internet. You’ll spend hours combing suppliers all over the world. I found one supplier who produced an expensive repro that had the black washed out. The chrome R was the color white. The repro was not good. I’ve spent hours making the stickers with no consistent quality. A few were sold and some were well received as caps for two bar spinners. Many never left the shop. Im not going to make any more stickers. Warmest Regards, Bob Burnopp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIVNIK Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Rivnik wasn't kidding, I was just being stupid. I was trying to answer Byondxtrme's question about an "R" cap for his Grant wheel, which is available. Unfortunately I'm working out of a very old used brain & didn't have my Grant in front of me to compare emblems. I guess what probably got somebody miffed was my misuse of the term "inlay" to describe the Grant "R"emblem, which is in fact not an inlay or sticker, but is built in to the horn button, & is much smaller than the stock one. my bad. Anyway, henceforth one might want to research & verify anything I say, as I have been known to miss-remember, conflate, exaggerate, & even make stuff up. sorry Drew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbinator Posted August 26, 2022 Author Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) It’s a great source for repurpose of materials and saving money. If the emblem is scratch free and 1 7/8” diameter satisfies then you have a start. Taking your horn cap apart should not be too hard. There may be a risk of something not going the way you want. ( I’ve taken one apart) Then you’ve got to get back together. It may be a challenge that many of you are up to and can handle. Now if all that to go through is not worth $150.00 then you should try. If not, Ill send you a horn cap, for $150.00, that has never been on the road in/on a car that will fit your 65 Wood steering wheel in exchange for your core horn cap. If you don’t like it send it back I’ll give all your money back. Thank you for your interest. You pay for postage both ways.
