[Roadsters] RE; adaptors: Grant or Mome: steering wheels

[Eddie]

Fergus,

The Grant adapter looks like it only works with Grant wheels. 

The Momo adapter has the standard 6 screw setup most aftermarket wheels 
come with.  (Grant looks like it uses 5 screws)

If I get my car together and finished by Solvang, I'll try to make it.  
Not sure if that's going to happen.  There's still a small list of stuff 
to do, but the car is 95% done.  It's all the little jinky stuff that's 
left that takes time...
