That is not a B110 steering wheel. It is also not a GX wheel.

It looks like the B10 optional "Sports" wheel (part number 48400-25711).

Sorry David but it IS a B110 wheel. This is the factory 'Coupe Option' wheel, so you are right, it isn't a GX one.

These wheels were derived directly from the B10 'Coupe Option' wheel. They made a new hub, .. or Boss, to suit the 1200 column & a new [but ugly] horn button to 'update' them but are otherwise the same.

I will send you some pictures directly for your library.

No, my photo's of my own wheels & parts books.
I just sent them now,

I had a shabby one of these & gave it away to a good home before I got my own 1200

OK, I see now.

With the horn button missing, how can you tell it's for B110 vs for B10?

Anybody have a picture of the B110 option that looks like this one? It seems the other style is more common.

David

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 two.

With the horn button removed, this is how you tell them apart.

The steering wheel in the photo at the head of this page is missing the imitation pads in the spokes but it was a common thing to remove them & it's possible that the originals are coming with it as the seller thinks he might still have them.






The largest of the pictures that I sent you is of both a B10 & B110 wheel together, You cab see the shape of the hubs in the picture & once you know what to look for, you can pick them at a glance.






This is a poor quality image of a Sunny 1200 Coupe Option wheel with an original horn button. [It's crook because I enlarged it from postage stamp size] The spoke pads have been removed, but it's otherwise all there. It belonged to a forum member who did not wish to part with it.

OK, I just saw the Wiki entry. All of these wheels came with the pads in the spokes, but removal was a common alteration, so the Wiki entry is in error when it says that the KB10 wheel had pads when fitted as original equip in GL models, but no pads when supplied as an option for non GL's

I bought my first one new from Nissan Aust in 1980 under the part number that described it as a Coupe Option part & as you can see, it has the pads.

Ah, the hub information makes sense.


Quote:
The spoke pads have been removed
The JDM B110 parts catalog shows two OPTION wheels:
- With plastic covers over slots
- W/o plastic covers over slots

I figured the B10 might have the same options, based on the "promo" picture. Supposedly it is a Nissan photo, but who knows? My B10 catalog (1969) only shows a single OPTION wheel.
