Fitting Nardi steering wheel into NA6 help!

Postby mx-593 » Wed May 22, 2013 2:34 pm

Hi I'm new to the mx5 scene and I am wondering what I will need to fit a Nardi steering wheel into my NA6 ?
Will I need a Nardi steering wheel hub or will it just bolt onto the stock hub ?
I'm pretty sure the steering wheel atm is the stock momo one if that helps !

I want to fit something like this:

The wheel you linked is a fake. I strongly advise against getting a fake steering wheel. There is a video on ebay where so guys demonstrate how weak fake nardi steering wheels are.

It does however give you the PCD - pitch circle diameter. This is the diameter in which the bolts are space around. For example, the PCD on your wheels is 100mm. Google momo and nardi steering wheel PCD to find out what they are and whether they're compatible.
Cheers,

This stuff is super easy to google, but I've done it for you anyway.

They have different bolt patterns and you'll need to either get a boss from a Nardi-equipped NA or just get yourself something like this: http://www.driftworks.com/steering-whee ... aptor.html

Also, agreed on the "replica" steering wheels. You're gonna have a bad time.

The word "style" at the end of the name is a give-away. Some don't state it but you can visually ascertain the quality.

you can also buy MOMO-Nardi adapter plates, but please, either way, don't buy the fake.
