The steering wheel thread

[winningblue]

I picked up a Nardi Design Giugiaro wheel off of eBay a few months back:



I really know nothing about it other than it's the same diameter as stock and a very similar wheel appears in the first Lamborghini SUV, the LM002:



So basically I've got a Lambo wheel, brah.

Nice wheels in this thread.

I just got this, looked around for some info on it, but i suck at searching.
Has anyone seen this? Marked 05-1979

Got this from Yahoo JP. The Moto-Lita is my fav wheel and the price was right. I kinda had an idea something would be wrong with it based on the price but the pix looked good. Got it from the Post Office today and opened the box as soon as I got home. There was a urine smell inside the box that got stronger as I unpacked the wheel. Now I know why this thing was for sale, some cat, or maybe a skunk, marked its territory all over this wheel.
The leather was removed (a fact I didn't notice during the bid) I assume to remove the smell but its embedded in the rubber. So now I get to try my hand at reconditioning a Moto-Lita.

Any ideas on how to get rid of the musty feline pheromones?
Anyone know what the center cap symbol stands for?

^^ That makes perfect sense as it came with a boss for Toyota.
Any one have a Mazda boss they would like to trade for a Toyota one? I'll throw in the center cap.

Just so you are aware the mazda boss is not 100% plug and play. It would be if your car did not have an airbag. The non airbag miatas have a different method of activating the horn and they lack and airbag.
I removed the metal ring from the back of the hub as a American cars use a different setup.
I had to drill a massive hole in my hub to fit the airbag/horn connector through. Then I used the garage star airbag defeat wire. Then I wired up the horn to work with the horn button.

By far the hardest part was drilling the hub.
Also you might need a spacer as the wheel might sit too close to the wiper arm stalk.

Has anyone tried an Avenue performance steering wheel? http://www.avenueperformance.com/cat...teering-wheels

Dave 737 if you are really interested in making that steering wheel leather again I would clean it up and send it out to redline. They seem to be pretty good at recovering leather wheels. This one should be no exception.

My Momo Monte Carlo and a guest appearance by the Nardi from my old saab on the parcel shelf, no good pics because....




This Works bell hub only turned right for some reason? LOL

[WASABI]

What happened to your hub? Over tighten? Did you need spacers?

Nice wheel. Do you have any pictures of it in sunlight. I'm interested to see the color of the wood.
