It's time to upgrade the cracked steering wheel to a shiny new unit!
I love the wood grain look as I feel it gives the car a more classic look.
Steering Wheel (kit) # STW111KA1S
The car is a 1966 Mustang Fastback with a factory V8 and C4 transmission.

I wasn't a fan of the wooden steering wheel at first. After seeing your 2nd one installed it is growing on me. My 1st and 3rd Mustangs were 65s with black leather wrapped steering wheels. Your wooden Cobra steering wheel looks pretty good!

Boy, that original wheel is definitely not a Mustang wheel...at least, the horn ring isn't from a Mustang. I don't think I've ever seen one like that.

Looks awesome Andy! Tired of dealing with my Grant wheel and install/horn kit. Those horn kits have lousy setups and seem to be prone to arcing/sparking - I'm over it! I'm looking for an all in one 'kit' like you described that won't break the bank. Much appreciated - can't wait to order and get this done.

Hey Andy - so I just ordered this same exact kit for my '65, and I noticed that the horn button has a single red wire with a female spade connector coming out of it and it's plugged into one of the male connectors on the back of the horn already. Then, the big aluminum mounting 'collar' has two red wires with female connectors coming off of it, but I only have two connectors on the back of the horn button. I'm confused - it feels like I have one extra red wire - the one coming out of the horn button itself? TIA for any help you can offer, as always!

@@banks412gmailcom Each red wire coming off the wheel hub needs to attach to the back of the horn button, but it doesn't matter which wire goes on either connector. However, based on what you said, it sounds like you only have one place for a red wire to connect to the horn button? My email is on the info tab of my KZfaq homepage, send me a pic and I'll see if I can point out what to do. :)

Andy, Love the video. I purchased a similar kit from cj pony parts for 65 mustang. I was concerned about your statement about the turn signal cancel pins, placing them in to far. No instructions on the depth. What is the proper depth for the inserted pins? Thank you.
@AndyKruseChannel
@AndyKruseChannel Күн бұрын
Sorry Boss, I couldn't tell you because they do not provide that info, and I didn't measure mine. You might have to measure the distance from where the hub would be fully seated on the steering shaft, and the distance to the turn signal cancel mechanism, to see how much clearance you have and need. :)

I added this wheel to my 66 mustang, beautiful add on. I’m having an issue where the roller pins that reset the turn signal switch are clicking a lot. I’m guessing they’re not in deep enough. How did you install yours?
@AndyKruseChannel
@AndyKruseChannel 2 жыл бұрын
This clicking is normal as the levers on the turn signal harness "click" as the go past the roll pins, but when you turn the wheel back the other direction they push on the harness arms and make the turn signal back to the default position. Mine does the same thing. On my last Mustang, I installed the same wheel but drove the pins too far in and they didn't work. Once you drive them in too far, they don't come out. :)

I have a 66 coupe I am finally able to restomod. I have a tilt column but no steering wheel yet. Do you feel the 15 inch steering wheel gives you enough clearance leg wise?
@AndyKruseChannel
@AndyKruseChannel 2 жыл бұрын
Yes, with a tilt column. Barely, with a stock fixed column. Those with an Auto tender to do better than those with a manual, because of the need to actuate the clutch with the other leg. Doing the tilt column conversion is on my list as I need the extra space. However, cars with power steering can get away with smaller steering wheels, which frees up some space for leg room.

Thanks! Yes, this wheel doesn't affect the turn signal mechanism, it's the wheel hub (the part that gets bolted to the steering shaft) that has to work with the turn signal mechanism. This does work with the stock turn signal. :)

@@scottbitterman1331 No issues with the horn, wiring, or the hub. I did have an issue with my turn signal wiring assembly where the horn contacts are located (not part of that steering wheel kit). One of the horn contacts was busted so I had to order a new turn signal wiring harness. Once I replaced that, everything was great. Again, all that wasn't related to the steering wheel assembly from CJP, it was a pre-existing condition with my car. If I had to do it all over again, I'd buy the same steering wheel. In fact, I did. I had this exact same steering wheel on my previous Mustang. 😄

Hi Andy I just fixed my turn signal cam. Basically replaced it. All good there But , I have a Grant steering wheel and horn set up. Are you familiar? This design is driving me nuts . The horn is so sensitive by design . The contacts are too close. Second , I’m not a fan of the two pin blinker cancel. With the Grant it keeps clicking even when turning normal I tried adjusting the pins so many ways. Anyway , it only seems to catch one for the cancel Thanks Rich

Sorry Boss, I'm not familiar with how Grant does the horn button and the contacts. Maybe sand a few millimeters off the tips so there's a touch more space? For the cancel pins, I have the same problem with my turn signal switch. I've learned to deal with it as they're new and will likely soften/wear over time and not be so loud. :)

That's a great question. On my first CJP wheel, I accidently pushed them in too far and they didn't trip the turn signals after turning the car. On my second wheel (the one in this video) I pressed them in until they were firmly seated and tested the hub on the steering column until they would trip the turn signal reset but not get snagged on anything. I wish they specified in the instructions, but I could not find that dimension. :)
