8. Place (Ididit) column in place with inboard firewall plate over steering column tube (it won’t fit after the
column is thru the firewall). Begin by installing the column clamp under the dash, directly behind
where the steering wheel will be. Mount steering column in factory location (with the bell of the
column approx 1/8” away from making contact with the dash).
9. Install the firewall plates. The outer plate is flat and the inner plate has 3 formed tabs that will be
inside the vehicle, facing the driver. Begin by installing the two center bolts directly to the left and
right of the column tube. Snug these two bolts 1
st
, then drill all the remaining holes in the firewall
plates, thru the firewall to allow clearance for all bolts. Holes are ¼” diameter. After all holes are
drilled, tighten them all. Don’t over tighten (so to not damage the fiberglass body between the firewall
plates).
10. With column in correct location in vehicle, tighten the upper clamp bolts and the supplied tube clamp
on the inner firewall plate. At this point you can install the steering wheel as well.
