steering wheel pads
« on: 20 March 2021, 05:44 PM »
While divulging the possibly epic mistake I made, may I ask: Are/were there 2 different steering wheel horn pads for the W116. My costly zebrano steering wheel and my NOS pad seem to.. well.. not fit. :-\

There were more than two versions of the steering wheel.

See this old thread: https://forum.w116.org/interiors-and-exteriors/steering-wheel-differences/30/

One change was only related to the shaft spline size, which was larger on late cars. The pad was identical between these two (I have both in my stash).
