I believe that it is a Personal Fitti E3. I have one in Black. Very popular in the '80s,

Now in 993 land ...
|
The center and hub bolt pattern, including the actual bolts, look like a momo wheel to me. Possibly they just got the core from Momo and then went ape with it? I sure would have appreciated that custom interior in the 80s, when I was an adolescent. Somehow seems outdated now.

Definitely an Emerson Fittipaldi wheel ... with his World Championship F1 ride in profile ...

The bolt pattern, BTW, is NOT the same as a Momo.
They both use 6 bolts, and they are the same bolts, but the bolt pattern/spacing is slightly different. You CAN'T use that Fitti E3 with a Momo hub. The Fitti wheel uses a Nardi hub. Although the wheel was sold as a Personal Fittipaldi E3, it was actually manufactured by Nardi. |

You can use a Momo hub IF you shift the steering wheel 60 degrees, centering the wheel's holes between the holes on the hub, and tap new holes on the hub.
Momo hubs are much easier to get than Nardis.

True, just about any wheel can be fitted to any hub with enough work.
For a Nardi pattern wheel, you can also get an adaptor to use it with a Momo hub. Of course, that will space the wheel around a 1/4 inch closer to the driver, which may be a good or bad thing. I'm surprised to hear Nardi hubs are hard to get. Nardi used to be very widely distributed in the US, I thought they still were. |

Momo hubs just seem to show up on this board more often than nardi hubs.

Nardi hubs are available new with out too much trouble. I installed one of those wheels in a customers DE car and it was nice, mind you it was suede!
Cheers

What they said!--First pic is a Momo,second pic is an Autotechnica.
Third pic is a Momo hub with an adapter that I made to realign the second wheel. Also gives a bit of a spacer if needed. These are cast alloy hubs, but I have seen pressed steel hubs with both sets of holes. The pitch circle diameter is different on mine so just rotating the hub didnt do it! Cheers. Bob

My 911 had one of those I think that's a Fitipaldi steering wheel. I remove one of those from my car because it was in really bad shape. I replace it with a Dino steering wheel and I used the existing hub adapter (the one for the Fitipaldi)

Here's a pic of one of the 'pressed steel 'hubs I mentioned--
See clearly the two sets of screw holes.
