As far as I know any aftermarket steering wheel will work you just have to buy an adapter to fit it and there are only a few kinds of adapters. From the product description it appears that you need a Nardi compatible steering wheel hub adapter to make this one fit. Check ebay.

It is possible, but finding the Nardi hub adapter here in the US is a major pain in the a**. The only one I could find was located in japan and cost $100 without shipping nor taxes.

I ended up taking an old beat up stock wheel, cutting off the spokes and machining it on my lathe, then getting a piece of square aluminum and cutting a round circle out of it on my drill press with a hole saw big enough for the new wheel to mount to and then welding it to the stock hub. Then drilling and tapping the bolt hole pattern from the wheel and smoothing the weld out on my lathe for my Nardi Classic wheel to work on my '73 Z.

I was tempted to try the *Old Datsun* adapter hubs available from thailand that are for sale on ebay for around $45 shipped that may have the Nardi bolt pattern on it as it has multiple patterns.

You could also get the MOMO adapter hub for around $70 and get the MOMO to Nardi adapter and that'll work but it seems like it will be too close to the driver. At least for me it would be too close...


Other than those 4 option's I've never had any luck getting the Nardi bolt hole style adapter hub without having to pay a rediculous amount of money to get one.


Hope something helps, good luck.

Grant Products part# 3592 will fit Datsun, I have one on my car. You should be able to adapt that wheel top the grant install kit if it won't fit exactly. Its $17 at Summit. http://www.summitrac.../parts/GRT-3592
