Nardi / Personal Steering Wheel Installation

[stephensixfive]

I'm a proud new owner of an '81 SC. I'm already in love; it's a spectacular car. The only thing wrong is that it needs a new steering wheel (and a few other minor issues etc). It seems that everyone has installed a MOMO wheel, but i like the larger size of the Nardo Classico (and i like the look). I can't seem to find a thread of someone who has installed one, so i'm wondering:

1) the nardi hub + wheel - is it roughly the same distance from the dash as the stock wheel?

2) is it completely a bolt on install, or does it require any other modifications?

3) does anyone have a pic of the wheel in their car?

When I installed my Personal Fitti wheel (same hub as the Nardil) on my '84, I didn't notice any real difference in reach from the stock wheel, though your choice could be different. The installation is just like the Momo wheels, and you can use a Momo hub with an adapter if you can't find the appropriate Nardi hub.

I think the reach will be similar to stock unless your car came with the factory extended hub wheel, in which case it will sit a bit closer to the dash than stock. If that bothers you, spacers are available.

I have a larger than average 370mm Abarth on my car, with a 12mm eccentric spacer that gets it closer to the extended hub reach, and improves both thigh clearance and gauge visibility.

ok thanks. as far as i can tell - those Abarth wheels aren't for sale new anywhere, are they?

I have a nardi wheel in my car- not a Classico- more modern, Momo style- I bought a third party hub adaptor, can't remember where... But the good news is, it's a simple bolt- in job. The hardest part was making sue the horn button contacts worked properly. But start to finish, like a 15 minute job.
