Today I was working on getting my driver's seat positioned correctly so I could drill the holes for my sliders. I was using a laser to ensure the pattern i.e. the rails, were essentially square to the line of the steering shaft. I am working under the assumption if the seat is square and perpendicular to the steering shaft it will be square to the wheel. This was a pretty straight forward exercise.

During this process I happened to be standing above the wheel and glanced down. I had never really noticed but here's the question of the day. Is the frame built to have the steering wheel not square to the dash? My steering shaft is in and everything is mounted correctly but I was a little taken aback by how "non-square" to the dash the wheel is. If this is normal that's fine but I want to confirm before I drill my holes for the seat sliders. I am guessing the inboard edge of the wheel is about 7/16" closer to the dash than the outboard edge.
