Is this a R-100 steering wheel?
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.

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.

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.

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:
