I had planned on doing just that. But, my whole 66 years seems to be riddled with experiences like that with all my hobbies. I am  really just tired of all of it. A lot of it is from having my own business for almost 40 years dealing with many vendors and just about done with most things. Time to sit in the chair with the remote.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that feels this way!

Might be worth contacting the vendor and letting them know you didn't get what you specifically asked for. 

 

I did just that yesterday. Update coming this week.  :handgestures-fingerscrossed:

More than likely the vendor Grant used to make the wheels changed and they didn't update the picture.

 

 

I think your on to something here Mike. Update coming this week.  :handgestures-fingerscrossed:

Called Summit Racing on Monday morning and received the correct Steering wheel yesterday, 2 days, not bad. Spoke with the first person who checked on my original order and she connected me with someone that actually gets it. I was impressed that he knew exactly what I was talking about and sent me the one I originally wanted. Yes  @squonk  you were correct about the picture of the wheel was not updated that caused the mix up. It now has 4 holes on the 3 spokes and has what they call foam but actually a hard surface. It is not installed yet but hoping for the best. Thanks to @ebinmaine also for the recommendation to call them back and see what they could do. Been dealing with them since the mid 70's and hated to give up on them.   :thumbs:

With the new generation, I hope they are allowed to use their phones to translate. if anything is written in cursive, they are lost.

Ok, we’ll most not all. I am one of few. Although I wish I didn’t get put in this generation.

Jim,

       Can you provide me with the part number for the correct wheel? I need to order a replacement for my 420. Thanks.

Installed the correct steering wheel today. Close as I can get to the original without restoring it. 3 spokes with 4 holes in each. Close enough. What do you think Don  @c-series don Will you still be my friend.     :occasion-xmas:

I've been wanting a Grant style steering wheel for my 312-8. Any idea what the middle hole size is?
