Any tips on installing my Dallas Custom Steering Wheel
 

Can't speak 997.1.. but on my 997.2 and 987.2 it was easy as pie. More like a 1 out of 10 on difficulty scale. I did a couple swaps back to back when my new wheel came in. Took the multifunction wheel off the Cayman, took the sport design wheel off the 911, then put it on the Cayman, took new sport design wheel and put it on 911. Whole process may have taken 45 minutes to an hour for two swaps.

The airbag pretty much just pops out once you pull back a couple of tabs (I could be recalling this incorrectly). As far as the screwdriver in the bottom of the wheel, I was a little nervous about it too but no I don't think there is anything to break. From what I can recall, so long as the battery has been disconnected and let set for a bit there isn't anything too delicate about the process besides lining up the wiring when you slide the airbag back in. If you get to sliding that airbag back in and it doesn't slide in easily you may want to verify the wire is lined up in the channel properly. You shouldn't have to force it, it slides right in until you can hear/feel a slight 'click'

Big difference, isn't it? I've done two of them now. First one, no problems. On the second one though I didn't get it lined up right putting the new wheel on so when driving straight down the road my red stripe on the wheel was not going straight down the road but something like 5-10 degrees to the left. Easily fixed but equally easily avoided by marking a reference point of where "straight" is before removing the old wheel.

The new wheel looks great in there - congrats!

Awesome mod. I love my dallas steering wheels. Have had 3 of them and Donald is easy to communicate with. Since you put the cool red center stripe you will be constantly reminded if you are not dead center :nono: haha

due to the construction of highways and roads you will always be fighting the rain run off slope built in to most roads. So if in the slow or fast lane you will most likely feel you have to correct your steering wheel a bit off center while in that lane.
May not even be that your steering wheel is wrong, but that the road requires a bit of steering even though you may not feel the slope.

Also, if you are due for an alignment, well now you have another reason to get that alignment done. My alignment shop always offered a couple returns for steering wheel adjustment if I felt it was not centered. It may be center sitting on the rack in a shop, but out on the road there are too many variables.

Looks like you got the "extra thick" 1/8 padding and added thumbrests!! Very nice!! One of my favorite mods and makes the connection to your ride so much better :cheers:

Dig, dig, dig.
