4.3) Steering wheel fitment

Two makes of steering wheel are

available. Both the Motolita and the Momo

wheel have a horn button mounted on the

dashboard. Each steering wheel has a

different type of mounting boss. It is

recommended that the fitting of the

steering wheel is left until the entire

interior trim, including seats, has been

completed.

4.3.1) Motolita

1. Steering wheel

4. Fixing screw

2. Steering column

5. Wheel centre

3. Mounting boss

(IVA pad omitted for clarity)

Release steering lock and centre the road

wheels to establish the straight ahead

position. Fit the steering wheel over the

steering column splines. Fit the

washer (9) and secure the steering wheel

to the steering column using nyloc nut (4)

and tighten.

4.3.2) Momo

Loosely fit the mounting boss to the

steering wheel using the 6 mm x 16 mm

countersunk Allen bolts. Centre the road

wheels to establish the straight ahead

position of the steering wheel. Place the

steering wheel and boss over the splines

in the straight ahead position. Remove

the wheel and secure the boss to the

column using nyloc nut (4) and washer

(9). Finally re-secure the wheel to the

boss using the fixing provided.

4.3.3) Quick release column

The Quick Release (QR) column has a

keyway in the QR boss and the steering

wheel must be centred by removing the

upper bolt on the lower steering column

universal joint, withdrawing the column

and then turning the steering wheel and

column to the straight ahead position. Re-

engage the column to the universal joint,

re-insert the bolt and tighten the securing

nyloc nut to 20 Nm.

Ensure that the steering wheel can be

rotated smoothly with no tight spots.

Tighten the steering rack clamp bolts and

steering column universal joint

bolts/nylocs to the torque figures specified

in Table 12.
