Steering Wheel Adapter Questions - 88 GL-10 Wagon


Recommended Posts

I am looking to put an aftermarket steering wheel on my 88 subaru GL-10.

 

I tried looking for a MOMO 7303 hub adapter, but they are no where to be found.

 

So i found this thread that says a guy found an adapter from australia.

 

The guy with the thread has a loyale, and im not for sure, but i think the loyale and the GL have different splines. yes?

 

THREAD- LINK: ( http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=108282&highlight=custom+steering+wheel )

 

WEBSITE - LINK - ( http://www.accessoriesonline.com.au/shop/product.php?productid=16661 )

 

 

So here are my questions:

 

The website says the adapter fits these subarus;

 

BRUMBY -all

IMPREZA WRX (no cruise) 1994-99

LEONE 1979-1984

L SERIES 1985-1993

SPORTSWAGON 1985-1993

 

Is my 88 GL wagon an L series?

 

Or is my 88 GL a sportswagon?

 

So bottom line, is this adapter going to work with my car?

 

 

thanks in advance

Your 1988 GL wagon is what we Australians refer to as an L Series. The Sportswagon was simply an L Series wagon dressed up with 'Sportswagon' stripes and white spoked wheels but it was still an L Series.

 

The Loyale and GL will have the same steering wheel spline, they are both an L Series.

 

It would not matter if you brought the L Series or the Sportswagon adapter as they are one and the same. Note the years 1985 - 1993, this is the important part.

 

There are actually three different adapters in the list you have copied, not one. The seller supplies the correct one when you tell them what model Subaru you have. There is one for the Leone (1979 - 84) and Brumby, another for the L Series and Sportswagon, and finally one to suit the Impreza (Prior to airbags!).
