Stock steering wheel on Ididit column

[Jesse72]

I couldn’t find much info on this but I was able to get my stock wheel to fit my ididit column. I did have to do a few modifications to make it work. The taper on the stock wheel was slightly off from the ididit column so I used a Dremel with the sandpaper wheel and slowly enlarged the “Smooth” portion of the wheel below the splines. I had to drill a new hole to clock the canceling mechanism and get a different horn pin.

Pic 1 shows the large gap between the wheel when I originally tried to put it on.
Pic 2 shows the closed gap aver using the Dremel. I took the wheel on and off 4-5x and slowly got it to seat down so I didn’t take too much material off.
Pic 3 is the new hole drilled circled in red.
Pic 4 is the factory horn pieces
Pic 5 is the ididit hot button you will need. This needs to be trimmed to sit about 1/16-1/8in above the center of the wheel so it doesn’t contact the concave horn ring. When you depress the horn button it will then touch.

Hopefully this helps someone.

Also note you have to remove a few pieces that are on the factory wheel pictured below. And the finished product.

Your welcome. Just take your time and don’t take too much material out of the steering wheel.

This is great thanks.

Not being able to keep the factory wheel is one of the main reasons i haven't purchased an aftermarket column yet. This is a big help!

Can you post a pic of the spot where you ground the mounting surface just so we can get an idea of the amount?

It would be the smooth portion (not the splined area) of the inside diameter of the steering wheel. I have it all together at the moment. When it comes back apart I will try and grab a pic.

Ahh ok no worries not expecting you to go take new pics only meant if you already had one handy.

It should be pretty straight forward.

Here’s a pic of the area that needs some material removed.
