OT- Roadster Steering Wheel

Featured Replies

Looks like a Nardi steering wheel? Very nice. I have heard that the "Datsun Griffin" logo is a complete fabrication. Does anyone know the history of this logo?

It looks like an EMPI GT steering wheel to me.

Looks very cool, and 'period correct' I'd say.

Used, NOS or a 'Flat Four' repro, Victor?

Thanks Jim! That is the very knob I have. Did you find this ad on the Web? I don't think I've seen this one before. It's a 1966 Ad, and I beleive the others wer for the later, high windsheild models.

Hey Victor,

You have PM.

Jim. :)

Allen, That is the Flat 4 Replica. I wanted an Empi wheel. Seeing that they are eBaying for over a thousand dollars, I found an alternative.

Bought it over the phone from a VW shop in Carson, CA., VWISPWest http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=171314

They shipped it with the VW hub, Which did'nt do me much good, but I wanted the horn Bezel. I bought the Grant hub adapter from Summit Racing. I was aprehensive that it would push the wheel out too much. No worries, It is now precisly where the stock wheel was located. I also needed to buy 3, 1/4'', fine pitch, Allen drive bolts to replace the metric ones that came with the VW kit.
