    Steering Wheel Spacer

    Well it seems I’ll need a spacer, but I don’t want to turn it into a $300 steering wheel upgrade for my Grant. I see classic industries sells them for a whopping $150. But Mancini has one for $28 but it’s only two inches. I think I’ll need more than that? Input? (71 Swinger A/T)
