August 23, 20169 yr 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.
August 23, 20169 yr 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.
August 30, 20169 yr 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.
September 18, 20169 yr 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. Edited September 18, 20169 yr by djcommie
