Default Will olds 4 spoke wheel fit my c3 with tilt

I have a 442 olds 4 spoke sport grip steering wheel has anyone put one of these in a 72 with a tilt column.I found a pic of a vette with the 3 spoke sport grip looks like the vette horn button cap fits as well.I am assuming the bolt pattern would be the same on the four spoke.

Looks great. My Cousin put one of those in his '77. It has a red color that matches the red interior. Most people don't notice its not a Chevy wheel.....

Did you have to buy the 'kit' in order to install this? Thanks. I just love that look.

Its actually a removable cup holder that was in the console out of our dodge grand caravan.I drilled a hole in it big enough to slip over the e brake handle.Works good as long as you don't try to put the ebrake on with your beverage in it LOL
