3. 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

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.
2. INSTALL LEATHER SECTIONS
Carefully place each leather segment into the recessed area one at a time. Start the 8-32
flat head screws in each hole by hand evenly before tightening.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! This will damage the half-wrap.
