My question is what is the diameter of a tuff wheel can . I'm thanking of trying to make one useing a old hub from a stock style steering wheel . Or converting an e body can to work on a body . Any pics with measurements nice . Thanks
 
...there are lots of E body cans around cheap.
i know guys who have used an E body can on an A body.
..if you find it bit long shorten it to your liking.
 
That's what I was thinking of doing guess the question is are the e body cans and the a,b body cans the same diameter ?
 
Well I tried to shorten the e body tuff wheel adapter to day and found out that the metal in the center is super thin my welder blew rite threw it . So it's back to the drawing board. I have a new ideal . And will be trying it this weak with pics. I'm going to make this work.
 
I have a stock E body tuff wheel can in my 1974 dart and I love it.
 
Thanks for the advise . Well here it is turned out nice . $18.00 for e body tuff wheel adapter, $2.00 for metal 1hour of my time. So I have $20.00 in my adapter and I seen two of the a,b body tuff wheel adapters sale for over $ 150.00 on ebay last weak . So save your money make your own . And as stated above make sure you put it back together the way you took it apart second make sure you measure the depth all the way around.

NICE.

I've had that project brewing in the back of my head for almost 20 years!

IDK why E body cans have always been 20% the cost as A/B cans, but they have.
I've been collecting them at $20 and under for two decades.
A/B cans have seen a spike in about the last 3 years.
From about $50 to about $150.

Whatever.

Not sure but I thank every e body had tuff wheel ? We're a. And b body's the tuff wheel was option . That would explain why. More e body cans than a b body's just a guess !
 
That had occurred to me.

What gauge sheet metal did you use for the wrap?
