So I had a aftermarket wheel on my car when I bought it 12 years ago, and about 1-2 years into my ownership I scored an Ebay deal $50 for a very nice wood wheel that is now in the car. I have been looking for a nice original wheel for a long time and recently was able to acquire one. So as I look at the OEM one it looks like I am missing the horn button, a canceling ring possibly too. not sure what else, a spring maybe? if anyone has pictures it would be helpful.
What I currently have is the Nardi wood one that is attached to the stock column. it is metal, about 3" long, and then the wheel screws to that and the rubber center cover goes over it and the wire pulls thru and is clipped to the center hole button. My new OEM ones has a very nice center horn part, and I did read about the counter clockwise turn to remove that. it looks like it will slide onto the spined shaft once I take the spacer/mount off that is on there now, and just bolt on the stock wheel? I guess I need to know in what order the parts go back on. Where does the canceling ring etc go ? I pulled up one factory diagram and that kind of gives me an idea, and SMC has the rebuild kits with a horn button, spring, and rubber center piece that goes in there. but I have not seen all this assembled, so some guidance is requested. Thanks. Phil |

Mark Heard had found the little white plastic washers that are part of the assem. I was looking for the ones I bought after reading this thread. Isolate the ring from the metal body?

Mark Heard had found the little white plastic washers that are part of the assem. I was looking for the ones I bought after reading this thread. Isolate the ring from the metal body? this is one thing on my car I had not delved into before so its all new to me. Like I said, I just had an aftermarket on there when I got the car. and there is differenced from year to year with the horn button, no horn button, canceling ring design etc. I took mine apart last night and took few pictures but looks like the ones I found on line etc look like the metal spring band in the middle should not be broken like mine is, but I have not found anyone making that middle part, just the ring under it. URO and OEM center rubber spacer are available and AA has the late cancel in the horn batwing. Several suppliers have the backside ring with the ground wire. now on the small washers, I don't have the plastic washers on this steering wheel, it looks like a paper material. once I get the other one I will take it apart to compare it. will work on this more once the replacement parts etc come in. the other thing i'd like to do is get a new wiper and signal stalk/ring assembly. Hard to find and expensive if they do it seems, Mark has had a few but have not been able to spend that$$ on that part always stuff I have to do that seem more pressing. |
