Datsun 1200 and Truck variants were fitted with a variety of steering wheels. They are 15 inch diameter wheels (overall diameter 15.75"/40cm). They have a 5/8" (16mm) thick rim section.

PB110 used the same steering wheels as B110 -- at least with early PB110
1989-1994 1200
B10
The Datsun 1000 (B10) wheels were different from B110 items.

B310
B310 steering wheels supposedly do not fit B110 or B210 steering column. But you can modify the steering column.

Removal and Installation
First, remove the horn pad. To remove the horn button, remove the two screws from behind the wheel (B110 normal) or push in and twist for GX type.
STD/DX: screws on back side
GX type - push in and twist anti-clockwise to remove
Next, unbolt the steering shaft large nut. Do not remove it all the way, keep it on so the wheel won't fly off while popping the wheel from the shaft.
Be sure to use a wheel puller:
Occasionally you can remove the nut and "pop" it off by hitting it from behind with your fists, but you risk the chance of having it hit you in the face when it pops loose. Discussion
Be safe, don't worry. Only about $15 new for a simple type.
Interchange
Only the Sunny Truck wheel is a direct interchange with the B110 wheel.

Other wheels fit the hub but may not match the trim. The B110 steering wheel hub uses the same bolt pattern as:
45mm between bolts (1-15/16 inch) * 1970-1976 B110 (Sunny/1200) * 1974-1978 B210 (Sunny/120Y) * 1977-1979 S10 (Silvia/SX200) * 1976-1977 F10 (Cherry) * 1979-1982 N10 (Pulsar/210)
Datsun 1200 wheel bolts straight to the Datsun 1000 shaft without problems, but the 1200's blinker canceling pins are wider apart than the 1000 models pins & these strike the original switch mechanism, which either prevents wheel rotation, making it hard to steer, or destroying the switch.
Only three Datsun models used the small diameter steering column shaft, those models being the B10, B110 & B210. The B10 used blinker canceling pins that were reasonanly close together & this made it unique, The B110 & B210 share the same specs so the hub/boss is interchangeable between these two models.
B310 GX in B110 (with B110 GX horn button)
All other Datsun models [at least those from the mid 60's], including the B310, used a larger diameter shaft & the boss for any of these will be too big in the hole.

OPTIONAL - There were two Optional Steering Wheels
- 48400-H1200 ASS'Y-WHEEL-steering (wood) OPTION ALL (per JDM catalog)
- metal three-spoke, one-slot spokes covered with plastic trim
- 48400-H2310 ASS'Y-WHEEL-steering (foam skin) OPTION ALL (per JDM catalog)
- metal three-spoke (at 2, 10, and 6 o'clock), one-slot spokes uncovered
-
These wheels were derived directly from the B10 option wheel. They made a new hub (boss) to suit the 1200 column & a new horn button to 'update' them but are otherwise the same.
The optional wheels are different from the B10 mainly in the horn button and the hub part (the wheels themselves appear to be the same, but were only sold as an assembly).
- The 1200 horn button is wider at the top, and narrower where it bolts to the wheel
- The 1000 horn button is the opposite (narrower at the top)
Also, the 1200 hub part where it meet the steering column is bigger diameter. So the 1200 hub flares out slightly to this larger diameter. The 1000 hub is completely cylindrical.
Note that the 1000 hub on the right is cylindrical & has closely spaced blinker pins, while the 1200 hub on the left is conical, or bell shaped & has pins more widely spaced.
The wheel & the complete horn switch assembly are identical between the B10 OPTION wheel and the B110 OPTION wheel.

1977-1979 Datsun 200SX (Silvia) used a steering wheel that looks like the B210 GX wheel.

Does this fit small shaft (B110/B210) or large shaft (B310)?
Aftermarket Wheels & Hubs
Aftermarket steering wheels look great and have better shapes and sizes than factory wheels.
Aftermarket steering wheels generally require an adapter hub.
