Freightliner horn button removal.

The loose nut behind the steering wheel ?

 

check it yo.


it blocks the gauges,and the spacer obstructs putting the socket in to tighten the nut.

its a cheap wheel,and is built accordingly,but it is finished nicely for the cost.

i removed the lower spacer. about 1" thick. lowered the wheel,unshrouded the gauges and also got it more out of the site picture thru the windshield. the old wheel was terrible in that regard.



you can see its lower from top pic.



good dash clearance.



it is getting a tilt column eventually. wheel seems in a nice position.

 

thanks.

i can get a column for 75 bucks at bone yard. just gotta get there and do it. the little ball/collar joint in the tower on the floor is sloppy. and what a stupid design,i have to buy a new lower shaft to fix it.
