Vansin69 Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 So story goes, I bought a Grant steering wheel for my 1970 Datsun 510. Then I needed a hub. Searching through the forums on Good ol' Ratsun, I found that "Grant Steering Wheel Installation Kit 4581" would fit my 510. Found it on SUMMIT RACING so I purchased it. I finally got it in the mail and bam, of course, knowing my luck, it didn't fit. So I started a new search in a new steering wheel hub and I found a pretty nice hub from NRG. But from I read, from old forums like 3 or 4 years ago, since I guess those are the newest ones for this topic, they said NRG didn't make a hub that would fit the 510. So now, let's fast forward to 2015, I went to the NRG website and they STILL DIDNT make a model for Datsun 510. But on eBay, I found a hub from NRG that said "it would be compatible" but who's to say. I took a risk and paid $100 bucks in this model "Short Hub SRK-142H" from NRG and what do you know, It DOES FIT!!!!! So now, I just bought a steering wheel that I shoulda got from the beginning and wanted, a 340mm Nardi Steering wheel. I can post up pictures of you guys are interested in the hubs I bought and the steering wheel I should be receiving by this Friday. And help answer any questions that you guys may have. Or if you guys know any more information I left out, let me know. Lol. And BTW, I didn't get a momo hub or anything because I didn't know what model to get Quote Link to comment

shacks510 Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I was referring to NRG products. All those cheap eBay wheels and hubs are a safety risk. Grant products are really good for the price. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Good info. I heard the boss hubs work as well. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I bought an NRG to run my Nardi in my 240Z. Perfect fit on the hub, however I never mounted a wheel. Ended up going a different route and selling it. Quote Link to comment
fritzdixxon Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I'd like to try one of the removable wheel hubs, no wheel no steal. Quote Link to comment

jeph Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 i have the same nrg hub works great! even makes horn functional and turns off the signal after wheel is turned straight. okay so today i tried the hub out. first of all it doesnt come with these 2 pins that turn the turn signal off after you straighten the wheel out i had to pull them out of the stock steering wheel. It site perfectly where i wanted it to. A problem that i found out i will run into is fitting the horn button in with the hub being soo slim the steering wheel nut takes up a lot of room. ill post pics when i get the sleeve for the horn button. 1 Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I have the NRG slim quick release. Mounted to my Momo hub. Works well. Quote Link to comment
