I found a wood classico Nardi wheel that I want to install on my S3 Jaguar.
Do I need to purchase the Nardi hub to install or can I use the hub from the old wheel?

Steve,
Nardi Wheel installed easily. Three screws to remove horn button,
then a pal nut and 1" nut that holds on the old wheel and hub. Steering wheel then easily pulled off...a split ring that wraps around the shaft is visible but this remained on and I simply slipped the new wheel over the splined shaft and ring assembly. New horn button snapped in easily over
the original brass horn shaft and that was it. Whole job took 15 minutes.
One word of caution...do not over tighten the nut holding on the wheel. The collapsible steering column is fragile and can be damaged with too much force.

Glenn,

When you get it installed, let us know how it went. Any tips or problems encountered would be helpful.

To close this discussion, the proper hub is #2201 for the S3.
I purchased from Nardi USA and the cost was $75.00.
Thanks for your help

don't know the number, got mine from Classic Jaguar, in Tx., with the Steering wheel. Not sure if they'd sell just the hub.

you need the hub... I have a Nardi on my Series 3 and the hub is different... It's worth it though, the NArdi is very good quality wheel and much stiffer/safer than the stock S3 wheel...
