4. Install Steering Wheel

Position steering wheel on adapter and install nine 8-32
flathead screws, tighten down steering wheel. Check the
steering wheel to make sure it is straight. To adjust, remove
the assembly (steering wheel & adapter) and index the
adapter on the splined shaft. Once straight, torque steering
shaft nut to 20-25ft. lbs.

Non-Billet Specialties Adapter

Billet Specialties steering wheels are drilled and counter-sunk
to work with Billet Specialties adapters and use 8-32
hardware. Some aftermarket adapters are supplied with
10-32 hardware. On such applications the hardware must be
changed to 8-32.

3. Install Leather Ring

Lay leather ring on table with leather side down. Align holes
in steering wheel with holes in leather wrap. Holes are not
evenly spaced so the steering wheel may have to be moved
1 or 2 holes to the left until the holes line up. Start the eight
8-32 flathead screws in each hole before evenly hand
tightening them.

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! This will damage the half-wrap.
