I see all of those steering wheel adapters for sale and I wonder if those will work with the stock steering wheel to space it farther from the dash? Or perhaps another way??? I want to adjust the seat all the way back, but when I do the reach to the steering wheel is uncomfortably long, so I end up compromising. Thanks!

Not likely. You'd have to use an aftermarket wheel or build your own adapter from the aftermarket bolt pattern to the stock wheel.

Maybe use two of those adapters with the spacer and very strong studs/bolts in the middle with the end of another steering column pinned/welded to the second adapter so you could bolt on the stock wheel. It would tricky to pull off without a machine shop.

Personally, I think a nice aftermarket wheel with a Porsche horn button would be much easier to do and you could try different diameters and shapes to get the look/feel you want.

Finally, remember that as the wheel goes back towards you, it also goes up slightly so depending on the amount of spacer you put on, it could end up slightly higher than before.

I drove mine today down to the end of the culdi-sac to reposition it..
so i can work on it better. Ive said it before too about wheel position.

I have a older grant wheel and i must of not put the dash back in
full forward.. i also have a wheel skin on the grant. Its unlikely
the dash is out of place though i could be in heaven if a had 3/4
to an inch there, very do-able.

^It is compatible. Those wheels are 100% identical to the four spokers that came in some of the later 924s (like my 81 Euro-spec). Not sure how the spacer attaches, but the wheel itself is totally interchangeable, so if the spacer is removable, it should be usable on any OEM 924 wheel.

Here's an example of one currently for sale on EvilBay:


Not all 4-spokers had them, and not all sellers are aware of what they have I believe these were most common the 951.

Joe, just order the spacer from Grant and install it. Fits between the steering wheel and the adapter.

I'll be replacing my ignition switch soon, so I'll do a recce and let y'all know if it's a spacer or a factory wheel that's extended. From casual observation it looks like a single unit though.
