RobStand Posted June 22, 2013 Report Posted June 22, 2013 Does anyone know where I can get an adapter to mount a Nardi steering wheel in my 76 Avanti II? I *think* it has the Chrysler column but I'm not positive. Any pointers are appreciated. Thanks! Rob RQB-2427
plwindish Posted June 24, 2013 Report Posted June 24, 2013 What type of wheel is on your 76 now? My 76 came with a Momo, I think. It is a wood wheel with 3 flat aluminum spokes with the Avanti horn button. The mounting plate for the wheel has 6 metric screws securing the wheel to the hub.
WayneC Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 Maybe these links would be of some help: http://www.gomiata.com/nastwhspadki.html http://www.classicowheels.com/hubadapters.htm (I suspect the bolt pattern is the same as a GM column, since GM made the Chrysler columns) http://www.amazon.com/Nardi-Personal-Adapter-Polished-Steering-4300-00-0003/dp/B004JKBCMW
RobStand Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) My steering wheel is exactly like this one. Here's a pic of the bolt pattern. https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=C61E3C1BF2B8A064!4361&authkey=!AAOw2eTQ6xoVqXU&v=3 (high resolution) Edited June 25, 2013 by RobStand
Paul K. Posted September 5, 2013 Report Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) Your 76 has an AMC/GM steering column and you have a Jeep steering wheel. AMC purchased their columns from GM. The interesting part is that the column will accommodate a Chrysler/Mopar or a GM ignition switch. I would buy a GM adapter for your Nardi.AMC used GM keys but I guess Avanti used the Mopar key because it matched the Avanti door locks. BUT.... I had a '74 that had the same Mopar column and GM key for the ignition that also fit the door locks. Go Figure. BTW, Looks like a nice car from your interior shot. Edited September 5, 2013 by Paul K.
