Found the Grant part number on the Alpine Archive:
Finally found the proper Grant steering wheel adapter that will
fit
my
1966 SV Alpine. The Grant part number is 4567. The Grant catalog
shows
it fitting 1967-68 Sunbeams. My local NAPA auto parts store had
to
have
their distributor special order it from Grant as they did not
list it
in
their catalog and Grant would not sell it direct.
