Steering wheel question


Villeman

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I found this gem on a fleamarket in Berlin and had to buy it. Now I am struggling a bit to identify the wheel and make it fit to a 280z. Has anybody done that before? Looks like it could be an old VW/Porsche wheel, sadly no labeling (have to take it apart to see if one is hidden). Maybe a "Personal" wheel (Nardi)? I would like to keep the black plastig (Bakelit') stuff, at least the horn button.

Looks totally doable.

Probably the simplest path is to start with an aftermarket adaptor hub (like a Momo).

Depending on how you want the wheel to sit, you may use the new hub as is or if that puts the wheel too close, it may need modification (basically, removing the "crush zone" and using just the splined bottom section. Lathe access would be handy if that's the case.

Don't see any reason the Lucas horn button couldn't be used.
