Title: Flaminia Touring steering wheel alignment
Post by: FERGTS246 on 12 June, 2024, 09:29:32 AM
Hi, I had to disconnect the yoke at the bottom of the steering column and on reconnecting, the steering wheel isn't centred when the wheels are pointing straight ahead - its about 7 degrees out. How this is happened I don't know. Anyway, looking at the Flaminia Parts Catalogue I can't see a retaining nut or spine - which I can see on the Pininfarina steering wheel diagram. Before I break something, does anyone know how I can take the steering wheel off to centre it?
Thanks in advance. Chris

  I am sure it won't be necessary, but if the solution is not forthcoming or the spline connection is stuck ,the steering wheel can be centred next time the tracking is adjusted.

Richard, thanks for reply. When you wrote 'I am sure it won't be necessary', what do you think won't be necessary?
Thnx Chris

  I meant someone may have a better solution than adjustment by means of tracking.

 Not sure why this had become necessary but hopefully easily sorted,
