magredvet i have crappy eyesight and didnt need a magnifyer. just slip the wire thru the hole and solder it gently. chris has tinned the ends for you already and its a very tight fit. you pass it thru and bend the wire on the board and it stays put were you need it. the disassembly instructions are exact and fotos help tons. i had my laptop sitting next to the shifter and had zero issues. aslo chris suggestion about testing after its done ensures you did it right .
let me add theres a tiny spring in the top of the shifter that holds the door closed for the shifter disengage. mine popped out and i had no idea were it was supposed to go. chris figured it out from 2000 miles away over the fone on a sat!! he has the best kit ever built!!

10080 i bow to your vast knowledge. after ripping my wheel completely apart i had the bolts out from 2 different slk32 wheels and the t30 IS the proper size!
There are three of us up here Southern Ontario that are planning on this mod, bluecoupe Beaner and myself. Slicing into the steering wheel will be a hard thing to do. SparkieSRT6 had a hard job doing it, his is done so we are relying on him to help us if we need help. The instructions are clear enough, I will hone the X-ACTO knives and get ready.

This is a great mod and looks great when done, not in the least an obvious add on at all.

This forum is a great place to learn and I have learned a lot here, sorting the wheat from the chaff is sometimes the most difficult thing to do. Having a mechanical background I look at things from that perspective, the electronic side of things is not my strong point at all.

I learn something every day on this forum and that is because there are a lot of smart people here, remembering it is the hard thing.
