460.465USMC's MK4 Build #9890 - Gel Red is Rad. Blue is Better!

[460.465USMC]

To help keep the NRG halves aligned to mark and drill the holes, dbo_texas sent me these plastic jigs. They worked great, and really made it easy to keep the parts concentric with each other. Many thanks, dbo! If anyone is interested in using these jigs, I'm happy to pass them along.




I think this thin version of the NRG blends in pretty well. It can be seen, but I don't think it becomes a major focal point to the cockpit. Had to break out my first F5 badge and put it on.




Here's a 35 second video of the NRG in action: NRG installed in Factory Five Racing Roadster

Everything came out well. Well, there is one thing: the center cover that pops into the steering wheel is pretty loose. Almost like the amount of difference you'd expect between a metric and SAE sizing. It won't quite fall out, but spins easily, and you can actually hear it rattle a bit when I remove/replace the steering wheel in the video above. Though I haven't specifically searched yet, I don't recall reading about this sloppiness in how the center cap fits. Any ideas?
