Hi there, I was just curious if any old school rotary experts could help me in identifying this steering wheel as R-100. I could've swore I saw this very same one on a stock '71 R-100 that was recently listed on eBay.

 

No, not from an R-100. I have one of those as well. I forgot what it turned out to be from, I think it was rx3.

 

Couple more:

 

I have seen that very wheel on an Rx3 wagon.
I saw this Rx3 wagon in a wrecking yard.

 

u need a r100 steering wheel?

 

Nah, I'd much rather have a R-100 than the steering wheel. Heh, I was going to sell the above wheel on eBay but I'll probably just hang onto it now. Maybe put it on the REPU.

Yep, US RX3 wagon, and some Jap RX3 savanna's (lower spec models).

 

Think it's worth much? Mine is in pretty good shape, just need a bit of cleaning.

 

love the emblem in the middle

 

Yeah me too, I actually have 4 of those centerpieces. The original one was cracked but ages ago someone gave me 4 old steering wheel centercaps off something else (RX-4/Cosmo maybe) and all I did was cut the emblem part out of the cap and it was exactly the same as the original centerpiece on this wheel.

Yep, I agree, it is from a Rx-3 wagon and possibly a sedan. I think the early rx-3 coupes had the plastic wood wheel. Have attached a photo of the R100 (original) steering wheel. The emblem is starting to shed its gel.

 

oops heres the photo.

 

nice looking interior u have.

 

Thanks!, One of these days I will have to get the dashpad repaired. The interior would look real nice once it was done. Has anyone removed the R100 dash? The whole thing comes out in one piece including the center console, I think.

 

I haven't removed one before but I do know it's all one piece because there's one on eBay right now and it's obvious by the photo. The whole "T" is one piece. Here's the URL:

There are about 5 or 6 different factory steering wheels for RX3's... I have pic's of most of them, and all the size of wagon wheels!
