Who can help fit my new steering wheel??
 
Just ordered a sparco 325, 350mm diameter and 90mm dish with a boss kit

Any help appreciated. Will be picking it up next week.

It's a 20 minute job if you have the right tools.

Process as follows:

Disconnect battery.
Make sure steering wheel is straight.
Unscrew 2 torx screws holding airbag in place - these are at the side of the wheel.
Remove airbag and unplug all connectors (Throw airbag on the bonfire:D)
Undo steering wheel retaining nut but do not remove.
'Waggle' steering wheel and it should come free of the splines - make a note of the alignment of the airbag ring behind the wheel.
Remove nut and then wheel.
Attach horn and airbag plugs that came with the boss.
Place boss over airbag ring making sure it is correctly aligned other wise indicator cancel will be skewed.
Replace retaining nut and torque up (32nm iirc).
Trim boss sleeve and slide over the top.
Attach steering wheel.
Connect horn and push into the centre (you may need to do this whilst balancing the wheel if there is a sleeve over the horn.

Voila, job done:thumb:
