nardi steering wheels.

although i dont own a rx7 (yet) i do own a mazdaspeed protege. i saw that the fd could take a steering wheel directly off a miata or a 3rd gen protege and with some minor modifications it would fit on the steering wheel. im wondering if the fd wheel like these ones pictured would fit on a protege?

Are you prepared to drop north of $300 on a steering wheel?
If so, the answer is definitely "maybe"

Should fit no problem, just need to modify the connectors for the airbag and maybe the horn connector.

^ In addition to that you need to add two notches by the steering wheel hub because of the different placement of the turn signal cancelers.

https://www.rx7club.com/interior-exterior-audio-26/miata-nardi-steering-wheel-rx7-101177/ View post #6 and do the opposite.


Also that red stiched FD wheel is about $800 You are better off getting one from a mazdaspeed miata. looks the same but does not require turn signal modification.
