Is there a difference between the core units of 69 & 70 Rimblow
Steering Wheel? I've managed to get hold of a 69 Rimblow and would
like to replace the 69 pad with a 70 pad (different inserts). I'm not
doing a concourse restoration, but would like to have a "correct
looking" wheel - not too worried whether the actual hooter works
either.

I believe they would swap over fine. As I recall, the problem is in
trying to put a rimblow on a non-rimblow steering column. many 69-70
parts tend to swap over fine between cars

The wheels themselves are different. The 70 wheel was redesigned for the
locking steering column. The pads should interchange but the wheel itself
will not because of the locking ring.
