  1. 20210317 - In this photo you can see that the taper(s) needs to go down a little more for each bolt to set more flush. I'll get it dialed in on...

  2. 20210317 - Shot of the (set screw) in which I added.

  3. 20210317 - Drilling the holes... In this shot, I'm actually getting ready to drill the third hole and I took the pic when I pulled it from the vise. ...

  4. 20210317 - I'm really happy with the centering and alignment of screws/bolts and NRG logo.

  5. 20210317 - The tap had broken just a few mins earlier. I decided just leave the spear-in and continue to move along. I finished up the rest of the...

  6. 20210317 - And that's when you say... "Ahhhh $h!t" And more curse words follow! I broke the tap, but the tap didn't break me! I didn't have a...

  7. 20210317 - I drilled the first two holes and tapped them. This way I had a solid bond on the two parts to dill the rest of them. *NOTE: I believe I...

  8. 20210317 - Chasing and counter sinking these original bolts holes a .16th/1mil or so deeper.

  9. 20210317 - The first hole to be drilled-out. Make sure your vice has the part nice and snug/tight, without damaging the aluminum hub. *NOTE: I'm...

  10. 20210317 - 1st hole drilled and then tapped. I think my spacing came out as good as it can?

  11. 20210317 - Preparing for holes 2 thru 6 to be drilled. 1st hole already drilled and tapped using the [T] on the left, but which is straight up...

  12. 20210317 - !st hole done and in. On to the next one... *NOTE: I believe I took this out of the vice and then took the pic, but I'm not drilling...

  13. 20210316 - I want to believe the wood/aluminum steering wheel is the the pinnacle of "Cool Factor 5" when you see them in these cars.

  14. 20210316 - Close up of the slight mistake - doh! The hole on the left (six o'clock) respectively was off ever so slightly. I don't like it, but...

  15. 20210316 - And like anything, plan it and it should go according to your plan? I'm really happy with the alignment and outcome of this mod. It's...

  16. 20210317 - In the photo, I'm drilling down these holes a couple mils more. I believe this was the last one.

  17. 20210316 - I need to clean my camera lens! Blurry shot, keeping it. It all seems to be a blur! This is why I took a lot of photos and documenting...

  18. 20210316 - Threads done! This might be a duplicate, but man, stop and not only smell the roses, but your individual accomplishments!

  19. 20210316 -Tap shot before the tapers. Wish I could go back and redo the tapers, but live-n-learn! - Thanks Richard (Dick) Proenneke! For those who...

  20. 20210316 - I chose to tap the threads and not just drill them. It adds a small layer of complexity, but I think it will just make me feel that much...

  21. 20210316 - It's on. Not giving it and A+, but I think an B+ will do. A little nerve wracking and I'm still not happy how that larger drill bit I...

  22. 20210316 - I think this will wok. I got it where I feel it's the best and should be just fine. *NOTE: I mean, if you're off by a hair or two or...

  23. 20210316 - Getting ready to drill...

  24. 20210316 - Time to drill. Oh boy, (Fingers X) for no mistakes!

  25. 20210316 - Looks pretty straight and squared, er, circled. ;)
