  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Installing a GS steering wheel

Discussion in 'The Bench' started by great white north skylark, May 5, 2020.

  1. Hi all, any advice or tips on installing a GS rally steering wheel on my 72 Skylark? The picture shows the horn button only, the wheel is a three spoke type. Just not sure how it goes together. Thank you for any help or advice.

    You should have a spring, an eyelet, and an insulator that drops down into the hole to the horn contact ring. The insulator twists in to lock it in. Then install the steering wheel/hub assembly. Make sure the alignment marks on the shaft and the hub line up. Next is the nut - torque to 25-35 lb-ft. Install the horn contact with three screws - drop the "leg" into the hole to contact the eyelet. Clip the cap on and GO.
    I tried to post the picture of the assembly from the manual, however, it didn't work. I could email it to you as a PDF

    Something going on with that cap? It looks odd to me.
