I have a Nardi wheel on my 66 230sl.
In the late 70's when I bought it, the original wheel was out of production and I didnt have another choice. The design of the mounting kits is the same now as the one I installed back then.
There are two different Nardi hubs, one for cars made before 1968, and another for after.
The one for the early models is a hokey adaptation of the later model hub. The offset is wrong, it places the steering wheel too far fron the combi switch for it to be to reached without letting go of the wheel. The horn contact is a brass contact brush that rubs (scrapes) against the existing horn switch. The two wires going to the switch need to be reversed and the adjuster cam bolt needs to be removed. The brass contactor makes a scraping noise and wears out quickly.
I had to make extensive modifications to this hub to make it work without making the scraping sound. But it is still spaced too far from the combi switch. I would not reccomend installing a Nardi wheen on pre 68 model cars.
I have installed lots of Nardis on the after 68 models without any problems.
