Well I got me a Mountney steering wheel with panda boss to replace the original panda steering wheel which is a bit cracked.
I've not had a problem replacing the steering wheel itself, but i've been having problems figuring out how to wire the horn button to the contacts on the column. The only way I could figure it out is by passing a wire from the contact on the horn button, through a hole in the boss (that had a bolt through it when it came?), and soldered it to the contact. Problem is there's the issue of having enough 'free wire' so that when I turn to full lock the wire goes with it, but also when i tried going for a run with it, it was ok until the wire was pulled free from the contact on the steering column. Needless to say it was rather embarrassing driving home with the horn going off every second on it's own because the loose wire was making contact!
I've rewired it and it seems to be holding for now. I just wondered if anyone else has had this problem? Or am I being a typical girl and completely missing something really easy?
Thanks!
Vicky
