Classic Industries Steering wheel

[kwmech]

Customer ordered a steering wheel for her truck from Classic Industries in So Cal. 15'' and green. Getting rid of the 17'' black and cracked. Anyways the steering contact plate will not center. I called them up and now have to prove that their parts don't fit properly with pictures and a story. How are they to deal with and where can I get a wheel that will fit properly. LMC?

Let's see pictures of what you mean by steering contact plate will not center.

Pics if they will work in a steering wheel hole

The black wheel I took off is obviously distorted b'cuz of the severe cracking, but the horn plate on the green wheel will not stay centered as opposed to the OE wheel, you can see the gap on the green just about 1/4''

I don't see the problem, but I'm not there. Are the large holes in the contact plate large enough to accommodate the plastic spacer and screws to center the contact plate enough to do its job?

[kwmech]

Yes, but the inside diameter of the steering wheel will not center the contact disc. The disc floats around grounding out the pin. The plastic on the side is too large for the diameter of the disc, so the disc falls on the metal. Look closely at the first pic and you can see the diameter difference. Unless there is a large diameter center disc

The plastic piece with the 3 screws in it is what centers the disk, it doesn't have anything to do with the inside or outside diameter. Check out post #7 in this thread.

The plastic piece centers the horn retainer. The holes in the contact plate are larger than the holes in the retainer. Nothing centers up correctly when all the holes are different sizes. I bought the whole kit from LMC Number 8 on page 133

The holes in the cup and the holes in the disk should be the same size.

Trust me, the plastic piece centers the metal disk.

Unless they have changed it the LMC catalog shows the horn parts in the wrong order of assembly.

Did you read post #7 in the thread I posted above?
