My incoming 280z had a nasty 80s leather cover glued to it - see pic, so I think the wheel is done for.
I'm torn between a wooden Nardi wheel (as I've never had a car with a wood wheel before) or a Datsun Competition wheel to keep it OE.
I have a few questions though -
1. It looks like you can get Datsun / Z horn buttons to replace the Nardi one - has anyone used these? Is the quality OK?
2. What do I need to know if going down the Nardi route - e.g. sizes, adaptors etc?
3. Am I right in thinking the stock 280z wheel is 380mm / 15"? With 205/60/15 tyres, will I find the steering any harder with a 350mm / 13.7" Nardi wheel? I'm guessing the 330mm / 13" wheels would be too extreme and might get in the way of the clocks?
4. To keep the steering wheel in the same place relative to the dash/driver as the stock wheel, how much 'dishing' am I looking for?
Thanks
