August 21, 200618 yr Author comment_179329 The indicator cancel pins were too far out though. Very odd. Since I bought it from a shop owned by my dad's friend, he modified it for me! Very nice of him.So no, the cancel posts were not the same as on the original wheel! Which is pretty terrible considering they list the adaptor as fitting the 240K. The MOMO one we looked at was the same.

August 21, 200618 yr comment_179371 can you post a pic of the mod?i'm looking at the hub adapter and thinking there's no area to fit new posts closer togetherif there's room to install new posts, then i may need an aussie hub adapter(btw, the grant hub adapter comes with an extra spring and attachment to move the contact higher up) Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/20589-fitting-an-aftermarket-steering-wheel/?&page=4#findComment-179371 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 21, 200618 yr Author comment_179374 Ahhh, not really. I'd have to take it all apart and after the amount of time getting it right I'd rather not. But using the picture you attached: They simply took out the pins from where they are, and drilled holes on that raised ledge around the hole. It was flat though, whereas yours seems to have a step.

August 21, 200618 yr comment_179400 well then i guess i'll need the same hub as you have, because the momo hub combined with the momo/nardi adapter will stick out too much here's a pic of the grant hub, and although there are five holes for the cancel posts, none of them are correct for the 240k, but maybe new holes can be drilled on that center raised ring btw, has anybody had to deal with a frozen steering column tilt lever Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/20589-fitting-an-aftermarket-steering-wheel/?&page=4#findComment-179400 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 21, 200618 yr Author comment_179433 I don't think my "tilt lever" had ever been used when I got my car. It was pretty stiff. But it did come free with a good push! Just try when out of the car to get a better angle. Or use your foot.That pic looks about the same as mine - yeah they drilled in the raised ring in the centre.

August 22, 200618 yr comment_179489 that's why i poasted the pic as i was thinking grant sells their hubs in other countries (maybe mine isn't even made in the usa?) :surprisedanyway, i'll have to drill and remount the cancel posts as was done to yoursbtw, the original steering wheel is the heaviest i've ever seen on a datsun Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/20589-fitting-an-aftermarket-steering-wheel/?&page=4#findComment-179489 Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 3, 200717 yr comment_204627 I picked up an old Momo #3500 hub with a Datsun horn button. See pic. I plan to swap out my OEM 280Z steering wheel (probably sell it) & purchase a new Momo Prototipo steerig wheel to use with the old hub. Should there be any problems? I have a similar setup on my '71 240Z & the horn works fine.
