Default yamaha G8 Electric "Steering Wheel"

I just joined this site and I just purchased my first used G8 Yamaha Electric golf cart. I am a novice but already a bit addicted to finding out more and doing more. I want to replace the steering wheel so I want to know if any golf cart steering wheel will fit or do I have to find a Yamaha G8 specific steering wheel. I am going to sell this golf cart soon only because I have already learned that the G8 is a bit of a rare breed and very difficult to get parts. So, any advice on the steering wheel?
Also, I just noticed tonight that the batteries, which are new, don't have any battery hold downs on them. How important is it to have battery hold downs? Can I get aftermarket battery hold downs?
I appreciate any help I can get from the experienced group. Thanks

All yamaha golf cart steering wheels fit all yamaha golf carts. Not all golf cart steering wheels fit other manufacturers carts. I dont think they cross from one manufacturer to another at all.

Hold downs are fairly important, the batteries have enough stored energy to create a big fire fast, and can literally explode if shorted out. Best way to be sure they cant short out is to secure them well & use the correct type & quality wire cable for golf carts. Just going over a speed bump can unseat all the batteries if not secured.

Thanks for the information. So, can you purchase after market hold downs. This cart doesn't seem to have any.
