Nice wheel cover. Wheelskins?
Just wanted to let people know that there is an adapter out there and what it looks like as well as the modifications needed to make it work.

I don't usually like the aftermarket steering wheels, but that looks pretty sharp. Which adapter did you use for this setup? |

That looks pretty nice. Is it the same size as the stock bus wheel (or close to)? Dunno if I'm ready to shell out 250 bucks for that setup, but maybe someday  |

Bus Boys used to sell a 17" leather-wrapped wheel & hub made for the buses., but no more. Didn't buy one when they were available.  Anyone know who made those wheels? Maybe a 'group buy' possibility? |
We will be producing an 18" Mahogany Steering wheel for less than $150.00 plus $69.00 for the hub adapter to fit your bus.
This wheel is only 1/2" increase from your stock steering wheel but dont worry because you wont feel it since the stock wheel is 17 1/4" so its only a little greater than 1/4" on each side.. is not that much of a difference but you will be able to turn easier.
