I used one Fitti E3 on my 1963 Corvette with an Adapter below and used that Fitti E3 and the F1 on my 1987 Mazda RX-7. The used Fitti is the one with the colored Fitti Helmet/F1car on the lower center spoke. I installed small nylon washers before the screws on any steering wheel with a flat surface for the six holes. I did not want any metal to metal contact.

History: I first became aware of these steering wheels while in downtown Stuttgart, Germany in 1980. I saw one in a store front display window. Stuttgart is the headquarters of Mercedes Benz and Porsche. I had to have one for my 1963 Corvette.
I eventually installed one with an adapter above. I also installed one and an adapter on my new 1986 Mazda RX-7 and again on a new 1987 Mazda RX-7. These steering wheels protrude LESS toward the driver as do the stock steering wheels as well as give a better connected feel of the road while driving.
