Hey for those who have swapped their steering wheel.
Can you guys/gals check what markings you see on the casting. So far the FL5s I remember doing all say A-1 on the right. I just installed a steering wheel for a buddy (don't know the brand) and it doesn't go on straight. The steering wheel is slightlyyyyyy titled to the left, I remove and move it ONE tooth over to the right and then it becomes too far right.
I tried like 5x to remedy the issue but no dice.
What I did notice is the aftermarket steering wheel (while oem casting/honda) it says B-1 instead AND it came with paddles on them. I very strongly believe it was a sport model wheel used to make this one for the FL5.
Didn't want to leave too much open for interpretation so I did some digging. I came up with this, the FL5 uses a different steering column to the sport model but coincidentally the SI uses the same column as the sport. I looked up all the part numbers. Not sure what the differences are but I wanna bet a sport wheel was used not a FL5.
I believe that while the spline count is the same its possible the teeth aren't oriented the same. For example Tooth 1 for the FL5 could be at 12 o'clock and for the sport/SI it could be like a millimeter over meaning a cavity/groove is at the 12oclock position.
Can anyone who has removed their steering wheel confirm its NOT B-1. It's stamped(raised lettering) T20 on the left side and should be stamped(raised lettering) A-1 on the right.
