May 26, 200519 yr comment_125189 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?

May 26, 200519 yr comment_125206 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.

May 26, 200519 yr Author comment_125211 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.
