bye bye ugly gm wheel..

[greezmunky]

Hello Momo Tuner



Now I need to figure out what to do with the column cover. Next to V8 wheels/tires it is the best mod.. totally changes the feel of the car.

Looks great...huge improvement I'm sure.

What hub/adapter combination did you end up using?

edit: any difference in diameter?

I used the correct grant hub and a grant-momo adapter. Wheel is probably 1.5" smaller in diameter and sits about 1.5" further away from the driver than the oem wheel. Feels so good tossing the car around corners.. wish i had made this mod earlier. I also removed both airbags and the airbag sensors and computer for a weight savings of around 35 pounds.

Course if you have a wreck your forehead will say omoM!

Just kidding. It's a great looking upgrade.

Is there anyway you could post the part numbers of the hub and adapter?
thanks

Hi...greezmunky

Did you have an air bag eqiupped S4? I would really like to know where could I find the momo hub too...please post information on how to order one and where.

Best Regards,

Erik

[teamlorenz]

from what i found out you need the grant 4509 IIrc hub
and then grant 4009 grant to momo adapter.
some small mods need to be made to the grant hub

Thanks Chris,

I cross referenced Grant part numbers and found that Grant p/n 470-4509 is for the following vehicles:

1986-90 I-Mark, Impulse
1992-94 Trooper II
1988-95 Rodeo, Amigo, Pickup

Would that be it?? (plus the grant to momo adaptor of course)

Regards,

[greezmunky]

thats the one.. the grant-momo adapter i used is a momo part that i got from shopmomo.com

Still trying to come up with something to fill up the gap left in the column cover.

[mrbeanieca]

Thanks! For the gap, how about cutting out some black carpeting used for auto sound systems and stuck it in between the hub and the column?

[janszott]

I got some black plastic from a local dollar store. Probably used as placemat or under flowerpot.
I cut it to fit around the column.


It fills the gap nicely.

Hi...I'll be buying the Grand 4509/4009 to do the mod. Can someone describe what modificiations are need on the hub to make it fit? I see a copper metal pin on top of the shaft in the above pictures, is that something that needs to be fabricated in order make the turn signals cancel?

[GKP]

No, that metal pin is for the horn contact. The turn indicators cancelling mech is slightly lower down the column (and is not much more than a lump of metal that "clicks" a nylon lug out of the way)

[greezmunky]

i'll try and post a pic up later.. but what i did was just carve out 2 slots in the factor turn signal "collar" so that the grant hub just slides right into it. Works perfect and very simple too. Again.. i really want to emphasize what and amazing difference the new wheel makes on the car. Well worth $250 in parts and the couple of hours it took to install. The only thing to add is that if you have an airbag equipped car you will need to buy the horn contact. Its just a spring loaded pinswitch that makes contact with a ring on the grant hub. I had to improvise late on a sunday afternoon and the end result isnt pretty.

[mrbeanieca]

Thanks very much! where could I get the horn contact?

[mrbeanieca]

hi guys....got the Grant hub and momo adaptor. Problem is the Grand hub comes with 3-bolt pattern but the grant to momo adaptor is 5-bolt. Am I missing something?

[bigbub1968]

Hi! That new wheel sure looks a lot better than the stock one, nice job! Do you guys have any idea if that can be done to a 1980 Esprit? Is it the same Hub as the later cars? thanks!
