That is a good deal for a NOS hub. The box is correct, you want a 3130 hub as shown in the ebay ad. I would message the seller to see if it comes with a horn ring. Overall the hub looks older than the NOS Nardi hubs that I recently sold. The hub for sale uses an older NLA horn ring. I presume that you use the factory metal signal cancel just as you would with an OEM wheel. If you have an old wheel, you can borrow the horn ring.

Ebay Hub:

This one is mounted on my car, note the BMW horn ring and two screws

Here is the part number for the horn ring that fits my solid Nardi Hub:

As you can see it supersedes an older NLA ring that doesn't have the signal cancel on it.

Here is the old ring:

Here is the horn ring attached on an older Nardi 3130 Hub (This one is for sale in Colorado Springs for $125):

Thanks Stan for the tip, and Markos for the info...it is actually used, previously on a 2002, but still a fair deal, I think...headed here. Probably looking for a period black leather/silver Nardi...

Dave,

Using the link from realism above, you should be able to glean the years of factory steering wheels that have the NLA horn ring that you need. You can bid on the rattiest wheel on ebay just to get the ring. Also, I know someone selling an e12 wheel for cheap.

I have a spare horn ring.

Thanks for the idea Markos, and I'll drop you a note Stan. Appreciate the help, guys. DV
