If the steering handle bar does not centre parallel to the dash when released, it may be
necessary to adjust this. This may be achieved by manually bending the end of the return
springs where they are inserted into the welded retaining bracket on the steering column
frame assembly. Depending on the direction of the bend it will either increase the tension
or reduce it when the spring end is inserted back into the bracket. Photo BR- 6 & 7

Before making the spring adjustment, thread the plunger pins together to make sure that
they are not coming into contact with the steering arms and will in no way affect the way
in which the steering handle bar returns to the centred position.
