Nardi Horn Button Ring Mounting

If I recall correctly,  the holes in my ring have plastic inserts that grip hex head bolts holding the wheel to the hub.

Hi Michael....Yes, that is what I remember but it seems mine have worn away....any ideas of where I can get replacements?....Thanks!

You might be able to buy tubing the right diameter and slice off pieces.

After looking further at my steering wheel, there are two small rubber pieces that mount over 2 hex head screws and are hollowed out at the bottom (approx. ,453 in dia.) the number on the screw is 10.9  7A. The one that is still there on the left side is not in bad shape but should be replaced as it is crumbling with age and the one on the right is completely gone. If anyone knows where I can get these please let me know. In the meantime, I will scour the internet and see what I can find.......Thanks!

If you can't find the OE rubbers, I would replace two of the screws with standard Allen screws. They have a cylindrical head that a piece of clear tubing will fit over, hopefully fitting nicely into the aluminum ring. If they aren't large enough with just the plastic tubing, you could try a layer or two of heat shrink over the tubing.

I put the ring on, then hold it together with the horn button. I've seen plenty of cars where the horn button is installed first and the aluminum ring continually falls off.

Thats a good idea, I may need to go down that route. I did contact Nardi and waiting to hear back from them if they can provide me with the rubbers....

Normally the wheel is attached with the ring and 6 flush bolts and this is holding down the horn button.

OR, you can just roll without the ring. My bolts had some lettering on them, but my belt sander took care of that nonsense.

Hello to all....well I found the part that I needed; it is called a "Nardi Steering Wheel Horn Button Grommet". Found it on ebay at $30.00 ea. (see below) Rather pricey...

Thanks for the help!!

30 bucks EACH? Wow, "Ben D. Over" is running that business.

The "grommets" on mine are made of plastic, maybe nylon.

Cheapest solution EVER: Get everything nice and clean and shiny. Fill two holes with clear silicone bath caulk. Apply and tape in position overnight. Done.

Silicone caulk/sealer is an excellent adhesive, and will come off without a trace on metal with little effort later.

Maybe thin double-stick tape will work.

Yes, before I found these rubber grommets that is what I was thinking of doing along with possibly using some Velcro?........

So here is my horn button and the back of it and the Nardi ring... This might help you but all the screws are allen key flush

Ray, he has the type that usually has hex-head bolts rather than exposed fancy allen heads.

Thanks Danny I had no clue there were more ways to install the wheels!

Those "Nardi" buttons look a LOT like the soft rubber cushions used between the cabinet and door of most kitchen cabinets.  They're usually 3/16" - 1/4" thick and  come in 3/8" and 1/2" diameters.  Cheap, too!   Like 30 cents each.

Search for "cabinet door bumpers" on the Home Depot site.

They are like half a hollow cylinder. Not merely a cabinet bumper.

They fit inside a flat-bottomed round hole, and fit over 8mm head hex bolts.

That's why I suggested some silicone and tape overnight. It's not like you'll be removing it often...

Thanks for explaining that Danny.....it is definitely different....
