S2 steering wheel

[David]

OK, I'll admit this has me a bit confused. Do I just need a Nardi to Audi CGT hub adaptor? In my line of thinking this would mean that the stock hub on the wheel is the same as the hub that would come on a Nardi wheel and I just need to get an adaptor. Right? or do I need to order both a Nardi hub and a Nardi hub to Audi adaptor?
