Screwdrivers can scar paint and this paint was fresh. You may want to disconnect the horns or pull the horn fuse until you finish installation to avoid aggravating neighbors. Yes, we know the horn button is for an earlier year Corvette but we happen to like the look of a rounded horn button. Once the button is off, remove the horn contact assembly. Keep shims with contact assembly. You should be able to use the same amount of shims with a replacement steering wheel.
When internal column components are replaced, the stack-up can be different, requiring more or less shims. There should be enough clearance to rotate the telescope lock ring without rubbing on the horn contact assembly or spacer ring. Outer screws hold the inner tele lock screw to the lock ring. These screws can be stripped easily; ensure both are started, then tighten them evenly. The tele lock ring has multiple holes for correct positioning on the tele lock screw. We usually hand tighten the tele lock screw in the center and then center the lock ring tab.
This allows you to tighten the tele function securely and releases easily. Once the wheel and cover are removed, the horn contact is visible. This contact on the upper left has a plastic lock that locks into the turn signal cancel cam. Be careful! If the cancel cam is damaged, a puller must be used to access the cancel cam.
The contact lock rotates clockwise to secure in place. Remember to line up the cover correctly. It has a depression to allow the vertical steering wheel spoke to sit flat on the hub and cover. Freshen up the paint and clean the cover, attaching pieces before installing the steering wheel and components.
Original screws are flat on top. We found replacements with a slight bevel that worked fine. Tighten the screws evenly and you are ready to install the horn and tele pieces. Hi, I understand that there is a spacer so that you can mount a 78 steering wheel to a steering column hub without notching the hub.
Does CC have this item. Thanks Scott. Take the spring loaded horn connection cable assembly from the original wheel cut the wire about midway for splicing in to the new steering wheel, the spring loaded part is required to connect horn to original steering wheel horn connection.
Step 6. Install the spring loaded horn connection and hub adapter. Use the impact socket to pull the hub adapter in. Ensure the white dot is at the 12 o'clock position. I crimped a quick disconnect lug on the end of the horn wire so it could easily be connected to the Momo horn wire yellow wire.
Step 7. Connect the base of the quick release kit two wires on quick release base, yellow wire connects to the old black horn wire, black wire connects to ground to the hub adapter with 6 screws.
Step 8. Connect steering wheel side of quick release kit to the base then insert aluminum bushing and connect steering wheel to the quick release kit using 6 screws. Step 9. Connect quick release kit black wire to Momo horn button and press horn button into place, enjoy the new steering wheel! Very nice. I did a similar swap on my 96 coupe going with the NRG hub and one of their wheels. I had to cut roughly 2mm off of their face to clear the edge of the adapter.
The rim of my new wheel is further forward than the original and this slightly interferes with activation of the high-low beam switch. Exactly what value resistor is required to satisfy the CCM and shut off the airbag warning light? I tried values directly higher 2. Bair's Corvettes Support our Vendors! Advertise Here.
