Posted December 14, 200420 yr comment_105072 Anybody using one of these wheels in your Z? How do you like it? I am looking at replacing my stock '78 280Z wheel with one. Will the smaller wheel at 13.8" increase steering effort?http://www.ltbmotorsport.com/steeringwheel.htmlProbably looking at the Prototipo, Monte Carlo, Mod 7 or Mod 78 in 13.8" diameter with hub adapter 3503. Opinions? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/14318-momo-steering-wheels/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 14, 200420 yr comment_105080 I bought and plan to use this Momo wheel on one of my Zs. The smaller diameter will indeed increase your effort to turn the wheel. Make sure you get the right adaptor. I thought I saw an adaptor on eBay for sale. A Nissan horn button for the adaptor is being offered by "choosalogin", but if you buy a new wheel, get the whole setup. Momo products are first rate quality - enjoy.

December 14, 200420 yr Author comment_105081 I think the adaptor is Momo #3503. How do you get the "Datsun" horn button? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/14318-momo-steering-wheels/#findComment-105081 Share on other sites More sharing options...

December 14, 200420 yr comment_105086 You might be able to install the Datsun logo inside the Momo center cap? or maybe trim & file a Datsun cap to fit. I liked the feel and size & color of this Momo. We are using a push-button release hub with it to remove the wheel.

March 28, 200717 yr Author comment_203884 I picked this Momo hub adapter up off ebay. Looks like the same one I have on my '71 240Z. Should there by any problem buying a new Momo Prototipo and using this adapter & horn button on my '78 280Z? By the way if this works I'll be selling my OEM 280Z steering wheel which is in very nice shape. Here is a link to a pic of it. http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=13612&ppuser=5664 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/14318-momo-steering-wheels/#findComment-203884 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horn pad will be included. The vinyl is still in excellent shape. It is perfect for someone wanting the OEM look. PM me if you are interested. I am thinking $120 plus shipping.http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/data/500/5664100_0031.JPGhttp://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/data/500/5664100_0030.JPG Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/14318-momo-steering-wheels/#findComment-204746 Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 4, 200717 yr comment_204765 Wow! And only took you 27 months. I picked up Momo MonteCarlo wheel in Zebrano wood on eBay a while back. It was NOS from 1986 and came in the original box with the warranty card. See pic below. I don't have a pic of it mounted yet but I love the way it looks.

April 4, 200717 yr comment_204790 This Momo came on my Z when I bought it. It's not going to be used by me and I thought since you guys know something about them, I'd ask your opinion. It needs to be refinished & rewrapped. There is some rust on the bezel around the horn button and a few paint chips but no damage otherwise. Just wondering if it's worthwhile doing.

April 5, 200717 yr comment_204802 Ron, that's a nice looking wheel. I don't know anything about it but it looks to be in pretty good shape. What does the signature on it say? It looks like you are missing the turn signal cancel prongs on the adapter though.
