> 1.) Does anyone know if an early Z steering wheel will fit a roadster?

Yes. The Datsun steering wheel spines are the same. Unique
to Datsun, but interchangeable between models (roadster, Z,
510's, etc).

Two things to check for:

The little pegs that cancel the turn signal switch
(when the steering wheel moves) do vary between
models (some times you have to remove the pegs to
get the steering wheel to fit).

Clearance between the steering wheel and plastic trim
around the column ('68-'70) might not be enough. To fit
an aftermarket wheel the plastic trim on my '68 had to
be trimed about 3/16" of an inch.
