Title: rubber grommets for Nardi Steering trim ring
Post by: rmmchl on December 31, 2013, 02:08:47

the trim ring that holds the horn button on my Nardi steering wheel has a series of holes on the backside that fit over corresponding  nuts on the steering wheel housing. I think there may be 6 or so, of them. 2 of the holes have a small rubber grommet in them to hold the trim ring snug over the bolts. Then the horn button snaps into this. Does anyone know where I can find these rubber grommets, and also does anyone know if each hole was supposed to have a rubber grommet. I only have grommets in 2 of the holes?

Mine has two as well, the horn actually seems to snap into the column on mine, and that hold the ring in place

One of mine is worn. Thanks for letting me know yours has only 2 also. Seems like all of the holes should have the grommets. It would make the trim ring fit tighter.

That would make sense! I may consider adding them now that I think about it!

they aren't  O-rings, but a specialized rubber grommet, that looks like a little bowl, that fits over the nut head. I found them at one foreign auto parts place for $11.98 each, if it is the correct part. The auto parts workers can't verify it is the part I would like to purchase.           http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nardi-Steering-Wheel-Grommet-Fits-Nardi-Horn-Trim-Ring-/141153200210?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20dd62e852&vxp=mtr

I know they're rare and all but that seems rather steep... I bet nardi would have a few on their site?
