Trying to fit the new control head I bought at TRF to my adjustable steering wheel. Lining up the slot in the stator tube and the "keys" on the larger tube from the control head, I can slide the tube over each other to nearly the end of the slot, about 1.5 inches overlap. Then when I push the assembly into the steering wheel / column the outer tube "bottoms out" on something with a metallic clang before the control head is fully in the steering wheel hub. The head is still about 1 inch proud of the hub where the metal disc should seat. When this happens, there is over an inch of the stator tube exposed below the olive nut on the steering box.
Is there an internal ring down the steering column to keep the stator tube centered or something? At the upper end of the column there is an annular gap of 1/8 inch or so around the stator tube.
I am thinking of cutting off the tube coming from the control head [without damaging the wiring I hope]. Before I do I wanted to consult the Forum.
Off topic item from Wikipedia article on the Roman Forum:
"An important function of the Forum, during both Republican and Imperial times, was to serve as the culminating venue for the celebratory military processions known as Triumphs."
Thanks in advance for any experience you can offer.
