A couple of points I will make, first the screws on the airbag on my wheel were definately T30, as I confirmed when I had the horn plate out. Second, when placing the template, it seems odd that it is across the 'knuckle' on the back of the wheel (where the spoke angle changes) which was a bit un-nerving, but once the paddles are fitted, they seem to lie flat.
So for now they just look nice, til I can get enough magnification to do the soldering.......
That looks really nice George!
great pics!
despite what 32krazy! might say (remember, he is krazy), it is a VERY good idea to have some magnification handy while doing your soldering. True, I have prepped and tinned the wires to make the install into the shifter pcb as easy and solid as possible, however, if you bugger-up the prepared ends by inserting them carelessly you immediately lose the benefit of the prepped ends.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call me,
