I have a Tiger with a Grant wheel installed by the PO.
I WAS a nice wheel, made in Italy, I was surprised to find out
it was a Grant. When he installed it, he eliminated the adjust
feature probably because it would look stupid with the big
"knob" in the center. He used an old socket(mickyed!) to fill up the slack
in the adjuster and it is now adjustable but only with tools.
It is actually a fine setup because my other Tiger with the
stock adjustment is always loose so the wheel slides in and
out. Come to think of it, I got fed up with that and tightened it
down with tools too... I like the wheel all the way in anyway...

Look at the picture in the Shop Manual on page 7, Section J.
Part #4 is the splined extension that move in an out
Part #3 is the expander bolt
On the standard Tiger steering wheel you turn the center cap that
turns the adjusting nut, you tap the center cap down which releases the
expander bolt from wedging the extension in place. The steering wheel
should now move in and out but may need some lube to move freely. Place the
steering wheel where you like and tighten down the adjusting nut by turning
the center cap.
It is very possible that the last owner did not get all the parts
working for this but hopefully all the part are still there.
