Steering Wheel Upgrade
 
Anyone done this for a Heat?

Does anyone know what the bolt pattern/dimensions are -- in technical terms -- so I know which wheel to get (to bolt-on), or for an adaptor if I need one?

Much appreciated if someone has that info.

Should be the standard 6 hole marine bolt pattern.

Steve

Thanks, Steve. That's what I thought it would be, but when I removed the center cap from the wheel, is a 5-hole (star pattern). I have not seen an aftermarket wheel offered in 5-hole. Only 6. So I'll probably need some type of 5-to-6 wheel adaptor.

I have IMCO hydraulic steering and they come with the 6 hole pattern. Other OEM suppliers (Teleflex, etc.) may be using other bolt patterns.
A hub adapter would work fine, or there are plenty of automotive aftermarket 5 hole steering wheels. You could take yours off and hit a local speed shop and match them up.

Thats funny I have a 02 as well and have the 6 bolt. I belive that I got a Dino wheel that worked great.

I've got a 6 hole adapter if you need one. Even came off a Nordic that I upgraded to hydraulic steering.

Bob...I think we have a jackpot.
I'll give you a call and make arrangements to pick that up.
Thanks, Bob.
