Steering Wheel Hub Adapter - 79 GF

Featured Replies

Restoring a 1979 Subaru GF and would like to replace the worn/cracked steering wheel.  I have searched to no avail for the proper hub adapter available in the US for spline to 6-bolt.  I have located a SAAS Boss Adapter out of AU but cannot locate supplier that will ship to US?  Any help in locating the proper hub adapter would be greatly appreciated.

I cut the hub out of my cracked wheel and paid a fabricator to weld it to a plate with the threaded holes I needed. Came out great.

I have a momo boss kit in my brumby, don't know if it's still available though.

I can help you with shipping. I am actually in the US in about 3 weeks so could hand-carry it and save you the shipping across the Pacific (which is expensive!).

I don't know much about gen 1's, ie. if the hub adaptor is the same or not. I bought a gen 2 hub adaptor new from a parts retailer for about $60 AUD ($50ish USD) for a member in Guam and it looked pretty good...it was the SAAS brand. Autotecnica also sell one, but the price was a little higher and not as reputable a brand imho.

If you can find a hub for second gen cars, the splines are the same. I used a 1983 steering wheel in my 78 GL wagon.
