Cox Racing Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grisezd Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubastreet Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I have a momo boss kit in my brumby, don't know if it's still available though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfoyl Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djcommie Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) 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, 2016 by djcommie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
