New Wheel! +Install

Grip Royal: Royal Grain

 I'm really happy with the wood grain quality. To get it onto the Z's driveshaft, I needed a hub adapter. Yet after finding that the most obvious choice from Momo was on a somewhat long backorder, I went the faster and slightly cheaper route with Grant products.

 The hub is nice, but quite heavy and doesn't sit far enough down the shaft. Oh well.

 Got the contact surface greased up a bit and the turn signal delete pins in and bolted it up.

Now is the point where the Grant horn button mount I bought should go on, but in consistency with some of their products, manufacturing accuracy is low. As you see, the diameter of the bolt holes on the horn mount is just slightly too small for the holes in the hub and doesn't allow every screw to properly thread. I moved on.

Next comes the adapter from 5 bolts(hub) to 6 bolts(wheel). Luckily I didn't have the same issues here as with the horn mount.

Followed by the wheel. Yaaaay.

Last is the horn button, which of course I still added on. Although for now without the mount in, it won't actually work. Also, being that this is designed for a Grant wheel with smaller hole, the button sat a bit low and loose.

But alas! I did expect this and conjured up a super advanced, sophisticated, state-of-the-art adapter... aka my girlfriends hair-tie ;) It works quite well for both alignment and snugness at the moment.

All done.
