Default Early DS Steering Wheel

I have an early 80's DS that I am rebuilding and will probably keep for a while.

The only thing I don't like is the steering wheel. When driving it feels like driving a 1950 tractor.

Do the newer wheels fit the old spline, or do I need an adapter of some sort. Never owned one of these. Thanks!

I have an '86; swapped out the old wheel with a new one-no issues!

Yes they are the same. I found out the early 80's are different.

I'm always surprised at someone with a hopped up cruiser cart that won't ever see a golf course still has the steering wheel with the clipboard on it. For $25 you can buy an adapter and for $30-$40 you can buy a pretty nice steering wheel. You have to decide what look you want and what feel you want. My Precedent has this on it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-1...72.m2749.l2649 and I just ordered this for my DS:

Thanks for your input. I have installed several new steering wheels on Club Cars.

I have found that pre-1985 and some say pre-1984 Club Car requires a different adapter. I have found this adapter. But some sources say this adapter is the same as 1970 to current EZ GO adapters. If I find this is true I can source it from many vendors at a much lower price.

Anybody able to confirm this?
