Hi,

Is this steering wheel still available?

What would I need to install it on an 1971 240Z?

Thanks,

I believe the wheel is sold. In response to some of the posts, it is real wood and would look great in a Z. A friend is restoring a Z and bought a Grant wheel for his car that is nearly identical except for the bolt pattern attaching it to the hub. A Momo hub adapter to the Z will have the correct pattern to affix the wheel to the hub. If my deal falls through I'll get back to you. Thanks.

:stupid: :stupid: :stupid: I should have looked it up before I opened my mouth(typing fingers). Mr. Camouflage and datto_240z, you guys are right. The original 240z steering wheel is plastic with a simulated wood grain layer on top. Sorry for the mix up.

Didn't we get the real story on this subject a few months ago? I think it was Kats who spoke to Matsuo san about it, and Matsuo san confirmed that the original steering wheels were indeed made from wood...

It was a new process at the time, and involved pressing wood into a mould ( under huge pressure ) and combining it with some sort of resin?

I don't remember the thread it was on, but I think I'm remembering it correctly.

So it IS wood, but not JUST wood:ermm:
