Aftermarket Steering Wheel Adapter Hubs

Contents

Overview

Only a few Datsun models used the small diameter steering column shaft, including the B10, B110 & B210. The B10 used blinker canceling pins that were relatively close together & this made it unique. The B110 & B210 share the same specs so the hub/boss is interchangeable between these two models.

Most other Datsun models, including the B310, used a larger diameter shaft & the boss for any of these will be too big in the hole to fit the 1200.

Conpatible

  • 1970-1973 B110

  • 1977-1979 S10

Slim Boss Kits

Short boss kits are totally worth it to maximize steering wheel to body distance.

Randoli: i got a boss kit (HKB Sports made in Japan) through disco bob (look him up on this site)and it was about 12mm shorter than the previous one. i find now my knuckles sometimes flick the indicator stalk. i'm 6'2" and the reach is perfect in a standard seat. so how short is too short

Slightly bend the indicator stalk to the right position. Ring spanner slid down a 1/4 and bend.

datskool110 was making kits

Wardman Engineering can custom machine any boss you would like , short , long , big ,small , but they are custom made from billet 6061-t6 so they are a bit more expensive than eBay specials, but you will have the best one for your application discussion

From $150

Alternatively, consider using a wheel with 'spokes' that are relatively flat, so they don't space it back further.
