I will be putting in this wheel next week when it arrives and I checked out the tech article regarding the install. The article talks about clearance issues b/t the wheel and the dash being a problem. I ordered the hub adapter as well because of this. But looking at the pics in the article, it seems the original steering wheel in the article car was closer to the dash to begin with than mine is? My car is an 85, and I remember recently sitting in an 86 wondering why the wheel was much closer to the dash than mine? Are the dashes different in some way? How 'bout the steering wheel/hub? I wonder if it will even be necessary to use the adapter on my car? What's the deal?
