i think it means you can fit a tf/zr steering wheel without having to modify the splines

yeah you need to trim the bottom of the airbag, like in the tutorial i posted.

SAMMY

taken from the thread on xpower forums:




Fitment of a ZR steering wheel to a ZS.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the demise of MGR the first thing to suffer was monogram parts. Loads of ZR stuff is out there so if you want a leather colour s/wheel chances are it will be a ZR unit that will need a bit of work to get it to fit a ZS. At first glance it appears that these two are identical. However the shank that protrudes out of the back of the S/W is about 11mm longer on the ZS than the ZR. To allow the ZR unit to be safe and correctly adjusted a steel spacer will need to be made to make up the difference in shank length. The slot in the end of the shank is cut verticle for the ZR and horizontal for the ZS. The spacer will need to be made to correct this. See pics. When ready to fit tape the part to the S/W to hold it in place whilst fitting. Once the S/W is bolted down this part will be trapped and unable to move.
Dremmel and a vice are only tools needed. You could cut the shank off the old ZS wheel and use that as it would only need half the work, but its your choice.

Well if it IS possible to fit a TF steering wheel to a zs- can we have a "definitive" "how too" guide- that covers everything please!?

It's just that reading this seems to suggest that it's not quite a "straight forward" as it 1st appears!

I intend to follow the guide that Sammy has posted up but include the adaptor...will let you know how easy once this is done...just waiting on that fantastic delivery service we call the Royal Mail delivering the adaptor.

I'm getting worried tbh!


Got the adaptor today...will be fitting wheel on Sunday and will post up pics.......Sammy did you disconnect the battery and is this essential??

sduk
10-08-07, 08:51 PM
yeah i did Jim, think its not essential but is to ensure the airbag does not deploy during fitting. :D

JIMZS180
11-08-07, 07:15 AM
Best disconnect then dont want it blowing up in my face!!!!

fitted mine today and the hardest part was relocating the airbag bolts but about 20 mins all in but I dont seem to have a horn...perhaps need to snip the black wire and earth.....I will sort out this week...looks good tho.
