Default Personal Steering wheel question

I just bought the personal neo grinta steering wheel and I had a question.
How do i mount the horn button onto the steering wheel? There seems to be a lot of space between the horn button and the hole in the wheel. I've never really installed an aftermarket steering wheel and was wondering how the horn button mounts on there. the steering wheel will be attached to a works bell rapfix II quickrelease hub.

did it come with a metal plate thingy? most likely, that plate goes between the steering wheel and the hub. then the horn into the middle of that plate.

and for future reference. a steering wheel puller was not needed. Save some money and time and don't get a puller. Leave the steering wheel bolt in halfway and just tap the steering wheel in a circular pattern around the handle to get it loose. You will NOT smack your head with the steering wheel like a lot of the diy sites suggests.

yeah took it for a test drive and the plastic part of the short hub kept rubbin in the back. had to take it out and trim a little. Other than that i love the wheel.

when I installed mine it ended up that the hib was one tooth off so I am drivin straight and the wheel is turned slightly one way.

Tried multiple times to fix it but it was all ways one tooth off.

yeah i noticed that too... i took the hub off a few times but it just wouldnt line up right... wondering if an alignment would help? these hub manufacturers should really have an adjustment feature where you could fine tune it. would've been nice for this one.

works bell here also


wonder if the JDM steering columns have a different orientation on the splines; if so that would explain the offset angle.
