Fao those with aftermarket steering wheels/bosses

Just 6 little screws holding on your steering wheel? I've had mine fitted for 6months+ with no problems but now that I went to change the horn button (and needed to fit a ring with new screws) it got me thinking... how much should I tighten these up? I did them up as tight as I could by hand but i'm concious of overtightening... dont want them to snap and have no steering halfway through a bend!

Anyone ever had any problems or am I just bieng a big girl?

I have an OMP boss which comes in two pieces.A few weeks back a wobble had started in the steering. It turned out to be the bolts that hold the two pieces of the boss together had come loose somehow. Could be one to watch out for

Just nip them up big girl ;-) nothing will happen as there are 6 holding the steering wheel on. No need to tighten then up so tight you can't undo them again

See what i mean! Did mine up, not too tight... but then again i am a strong lad and did mess one of the heads up on the screws lol. Also had to fit the retainer ring for the horn as it kept popping out, so it doesnt look at good

Oh well, least no more loose horn!
