STEERING WHEEL 68-70 #DN48-14

....

This is a "new" Nissan wheel.

Well NOS to be correct ("new-old-stock"). Although it has not been installed in a car or exposed to much air or light, it is still 35+years old.

Fits all cars 68-70.

Some people believe that parts that are sold by a vehicle manufacturer include those items that have a non operational defect or blemish, parts that may have been pulled off the vehicle production line or the parts manufacturer's production line. This theory may or may not be correct but about 50% of the new wheels we have seen, both long ago and with the last shipment we received tend to have defects in them. Maybe it is the march of time that makes plastic parts deteriorate. This wheel is no exception so we have taken some pictures to give a better idea of what exists. This is the last wheel we have or will have.

This wheel does not come with the silver ring on the horn button. Over time the glue gives up that originally bound it to the wheel and they fall off. I have also noticed over time that the diameter of the horn button increases slightly, or the ring shrinks a little, which also contributes to them falling away.

There are 3 tiny splits in the button, one is shown by the airrow.

There are surface blemishes as shown by the last two pictures.
