OK...not hoping to go over a very well worn post topic...

OK...I have a steering wheel, it is an original...I have been restoring it (polishing, restaining and laquering the rim), but I NEED a hrnpad...now I have a 260 2+2, and the steering wheel looks very different to others that I have seen! It has a polished steel set of bi-tri spoke (3 spokes, but each one is made of two thin ones with a horn button in between each of the three sets...ok, if you can understand what i mean, could you aid me in finding a kit? I have read that they're around $80, is that true of my wheel?

Thanks guys...haven't had to worry about it since I have an aftermarket wheel, but I want the original in (it looks way classier!).

Cheers ppl!

Does it perhaps look like this: http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=3216&papass=&sort=1&thecat=500

Then, it's a 240K steering wheel!

[Leeroy]

Thats the exact one...good work, I was wondering...oh well, first question, since I have never fitted it, does it fit up to the standard Z mounts? Second, if it does, where can I get the horn pad from?

Thanks guys, I was wondering why I had never seen it on a Z before!

Cheers ppl!

Hey Leeroy,

That's the wheel I'm running on my 260Z. Not to bad all in all, and for $20 from the local U-Pull-It wrecking yard I'm pretty happy

You should be able to find one on a 240K in a wrecking yard without too much difficulty.

Cheers,

Ross.

Nice piece of detective work there Mattlock...I mean Alfadog. I had no idea as to what Leeroy had described. I think it looks rather nice, classic as it were.---Jerry

It is a nice steering wheel.. classic style rather than performance no-nonsense style as the Z wheel is... maybe a bit big though

Hey Alpha,

That 240K wheel is the same size as the Zed wheel..... Not a mm bigger.

it feels bigger

Was just looking at a magazine in the Newsagent and seen something similar advertised for $55.00

All you have to do is wander down to the Newsagent and look for the "Just Parts" mag which lists the parts in alphabetical order. Had a picture of it.

Got to be under D or N or S (narrowed down a bit) as these are the areas I looked at.

Yeah Alpha. It's thinner so I think that's why it feels bigger :classic:

[Alfadog]

I've got a cover on the Z steering wheel at the moment too, so that would make it even thicker...
