8-32 flathead screws in each hole before evenly hand
tightening them.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! This will damage the half-wrap.

flathead screws, tighten down steering wheel. Check the

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.

to lock it in. The horn wire is not supplied with some
aftermarket columns, but is available as a replacement part

8-32 tapped hole in adapter using supplied 8-32 x 1/4” Phillips
screw. Insert spade connector on column horn wire to center
tab on the back of the horn button.
