Mate..try asking them for a Fairlady adapter. This is meant to be 240 -260z but they describe it as a Fairlady. I went through this myself. I found some reference from a momo dealer in the states on the internet and if could find it, would give you the code. But try that.

hi saint , thanks for the reply , i think i got it sorted now , i e-mailed a momo dealer in the states , got a message back telling me the part number is 3503 for the hub adaptor , next did a search on momo 3503 and up poped another dealer in the states with a list of all nissan models momo makes hub kits for with part numbers,240/260/280/ all use 3503,got one on order from demon tweeks if anyones interested the site with all the part numbers is at www.gprparts.com

Hi, hope you can help me.

I want to fit a three spoke wooden DISHED wheel - the same diameter as the original? to my 240Z.

What are the options out there Mom, Motolita, Nardi etc and do you know of some sites where I could view 'em?

Hi Sean , i thourght i had it sorted with the hub adaptor , but now Demon Tweeks tell me they can not get the hub adaptor as it is no longer in production , strange as they are avalable in the states , so its back to plan "A" import one myself , Mota-Lita said they thourght they made a adapltor for the Z but where not sure about spline length/size but they do make a nice range of wood rim wheels , phone number in the UK is 01264-772811 , as for Nardi , unless they make an adaptor themselves it might have to be a Momo 6 hole adaptor to enable you to fit one to the Z , what i hoped would be a simple exercise has turned into a bit of a nightmare...........

good luck Tim

I just purchased a Momo hub for my 72 240z. I paid $45.00 and $7.00 for shiping from OBBN Motorworks. I recived the hub 5 days after i ordered it. Great to work with. Here is a link to his web page

Hi guys , i got me a hub adaptor :classic: if anyone is having trouble locating one go to troy at too intense restoration , great guy to deal with , got mine delivered to England 2 weeks after ordering it , really impressed with service.

So I've chosen the wheel I want - a Nardi Classico Polished 15".

I 've emailed twice at the only concessionaire which comes up on Interent and on the third email, I got a reply. Yes, we can supply you with the wheel you want but it won't fit ! You need to buy a Grant boss and then we can sell you a Grant to Nardi adaptor, after which the Nardi will fit.

I don't like people telling me that I must fit half a dozen things before I get to my first choice - I like the 240 'cos it's pure and SIMPLE !

Whatever happened to 'the client is king' ?

Anyone got any suggestions (apart from choosing another wheel) ?

I have a Momo to Nardi addapter that will solve your problem. Let me know whay you end up doing. The Momo hub is around $45.00 from OBBN Motorworks

Thanks Ian -I will.

Do you have a photo of said adaptor ? My fear is that the wheel with all these adaptors will finsih by being ridiculously far away from the black trim holding the ignition lock assembly.

its been my experience that the horn doesn't work at all or works too good(all the time)with most hub kits.
