7. Reinstall the horseshoe bracket. It can either
go on the top side of the column or below, it is
your choice. Check for any brake pedal inter-
ference.
8. The cable is the next
piece that you are looking
for. Notice that both ends
are the same. We did that so
you could be right the first
time. You will need to take the small nut and the
rubber boots off so that you can get one large nut
and washer off. Put the cable through the bracket
from the bottom side of the bracket and reinstall the large nut, washer,
and boots. Try to center the nuts and washers on the available threads.
This is important later.
9. Push the cable down through its outer cover so that it will be as short
as possible. Put the column in Park. Now, figure out where you want
the bracket to be, 5 o’clock will probably be a good place. Install the
swivel on the small thread and turn it until it is centered on the thread.
Now, install the small nut and turn it until it bottoms out on the swivel.
Do not tighten yet.
10. Rotate the bracket until the swivel drops into the
5/16” single hole 2” from the center of the main
shaft. If the bracket hits something or is in a bad
place, you can use another set of holes in the
horseshoe bracket, move the swivel up or down
its thread length, or move the cable on its length
of threads. Always remember that the cable that
moves must be pushed in all the way. Tighten the
bracket onto the tube.
11. Route the cable towards the rear of the vehicle
and then turn it in a nice U shape. Stay away from exhaust pipes! If
this cable gets too close, it will melt and not work at all. This is a very
important step.
