Cup Steering wheel with 964 column covers - Issue
I just installed the Porsche (Momo) Cup steering wheel and the 964 column covers (for a cleaner look). The hub of the steering wheel is rubbing the column covers, to the point it does feel like the steering wheel returns to center as easily as it did with the stock airbag wheel. Has anyone run into this issue before? Any solutions before I break out a dremel?
Thanks,
Mike

The dremel is the solution to enlarge the cutout for the column slightly.

There is a nut which holds the whole column assembly (stalks, column cover, etc) to the steering column. If you loosen this nut, you can slide the entire assembly up or down the column. It allows for about an inch of travel.
You can loosen the nut, slide the assembly slightly down (towards the dash, away from the back of the steering wheel), and stop the rubbing. Just make sure that when you do so, you don't move it so far as to lose the horn contact from the steering wheel hub.
You may even be able to reach the nut with the cover still in place (you can do so with the 993 version of the cover). If I recall correctly, it's a 9mm(?) nut.
