Nardi steering wheel

Modified my classic 3 spoke wheel to look more like an Avanti wheel

That is very nice, was this a wood or leather Nardi wheel before you modified it. Is this on a early Avanti (63-64 ) or later model, I am curious because of the steering wheel adapter and functioning horn.

Thanks

This is the original wheel from the 73 I am in the process of restoration. It was a wood three spoke in very poor condition.

I'm curious is the steering wheel adapter that you are using a Nardi piece or are you using a two piece adapter such as a Grant. The reason I ask is that I have never been able to use a Nardi wheel on a early Avanti steering column and also have a functioning horn.

Thank you,

I am not sure. It was on the car with wheel. I assume it is Nardi part. It is a 73 so it is the saginaw column with AMC keys. I can check Monday when back in the shop to see if there are any numbers on it. The horn button is a stand alone part with contact wire in hub adapter that it plugs into horn button.

Thank you for your response, it is a different column than a 63-64. The adapter is different and will not work on a earlier car. I do use a Nardi wheel on my Avanti but have never been able to get the horn to function. I have a wood and leather Nardi and switch steering wheels off for a different look and feel . Your steering wheel modification is great.

Thanks again ,

Bob

What the wheelwrap a custom or a pre-made like Wheelskin? 

[Wasjunk]

Custom with material I supplied to match custom interior. I did prep work and then sent to Custom Craft in Texas to wrap
