Keep us informed of the end results and steering feeling.
And after that, to top it off, please, change that ugly steering wheel cover!

on the Steering WHeel cover
Actually I may be able to since We will not longer need to have a Gorilla's Strength to move the car out of the parking place! That was my best Smile today!
I have already contacted the Person that manufactures this and asked him if they have a Potentiometer that will go from almost OFF to fully on. If he has that, then I am TOTALLY Happy. If not, then the On / Off Switch will be used!
This morning I learned all of the Mistakes I made when I installed this and the things I did right!
The Steering Shaft Cover may look neat sitting about 1/8 inch from the PS Motor, but you cannot remove the PS Motor unless you take the Defroster unit back out and then remove the cover. The Smart thing was the Speed nuts I used so at least I can unscrew then and remove the cover.
Tonight I will remove the Blower Assembly and the cover (Which I will cut about 1 to 1.5 inches off and CHECK to see that I can get the Motor off without removing it). I will reset the Steering wheel to the Correct Position and then Removing the Motor from the Shaft clock it 1 notch at a time both ways until I havbe Perfectly smooth Rotation of the Steering wheel. I may have to "Adjust the Notch to clear the Lower U-Joint Bolt if the number of Splines is off too far.
Please note that I am NOT going to get all of this done Tonight BUT plan to be totally finished this weekend,
Remember I started this on the 21st of August and here we are 10 days later almost finished (And would be finished if I was a little more smarter and careful).
The Amount of Time to do this (SO far) is 5 hours last Sunday and 7 hours the 1st Sunday and about 1.5 hours in the evening for the 1st week (7.5 hours) and 3 hours this week. About 24 hours of Actual working time of which about 8 to 10 were removing, Modifying and replacing the Stock Porsche parts. My feeling is that If I had a full weekend from Friday Night to Sunday Night I could do this in that time period.
