Steering wheel question

[AKcharger]

What color is that spacer thing supposed to be and do I need it? I looked a shots of other 1970 interiors and I couldn't see it, but supposedly its a "must have" for 1970 A and B bodies.

Anyone smart on this? was going to install it on my car

that spacer is black plastic, used on 70s, not on 68/9s, because the 70 column is thicker than the earlier ones, and there will be a gap without it......the 70 wheel will fit all 3 yrs, the earlier wheel won't fit a 70 unless you add those 3 small holes to hold the plastic spacer...


edit*-this is true for b-bodies, not sure about a-bodies

The actual horn ring is 70 specific as well....68-69 is tapered to fit into column where 70 is larger around...

Hard to tell in your pic but yours looks like a 68-69 piece?

Ahhh, OK good picture. yup I have a '68-'69 one. Can you buy that part new? Wheels installed looks fine, untill you look hard
