Modifying the Efini Steering Wheel

Next step was to modify the steering wheel to work with the modified clockspring. It was obvious the new steering wheel was designed to work with some sort of clockspring because it has an opening for the connector similar to the OEM wheel except it entered through the top rather than the bottom. The bottom spoke on the Efini wheel prevented the stock clockspring from being used, thus it had to be modified as shown in the previous post. To allow an access for the new horn wire, the back of the Efini wheel had to be altered as well. After determining where the clockspring connector came in contact with the back of the steering wheel, I used a soldering iron to melt a new opening. Since the bottom spoke didn't have an access for the clockspring wiring, I drilled a small hole to allow the horn wire to be pulled through. Now, the Efini wheel can be used with the stock clockspring configuration.
