I wasn’t sure where to post this but here goes. I’m in the process of integrating an iWire harness into my build. At the steering wheel area, and although the FFR Sport Steering Wheel spacer has guide holes and a flat spot milled into the rear to attempt to mate up with the factory clock spring, the flat spot was off by maybe 15 degrees. Since I wanted to have both a functioning horn and self-cancelling turn signals, I had to drill out, then relieve a good bit of aluminum in the offending area.
I won’t post pics unless there is interest, but it was pretty easy once I had the solution in my head. Word of caution: if you find interference here where the clock spring’s 6-pin connector faces rearward, DO NOT try and force it in by tightening down the steering wheel nut. It appears to be pretty flimsy and since it has the dreaded yellow airbag wires built in, you can bet it will be an expensive mistake.
