Sitting inside with the door closed, hold the check straps up to the door and the 2”x 2” tube and position
the strap so that it will hit the framework in the door.
Use a marker and one of the check straps to mark the two mounting holes on the middle of the inside
face of the 2”x 2” vertical tube that the hinge is mounted on.
Use
⅛ ” drill bit to start holes for the screws to attach the straps.
The door check straps stop the door from opening all the way up and scratching your paint. Test the
placement of the strap for door travel before final assembly.
Open the door wide but not enough so that the door hits the body. The straps will stretch slightly over
time so allow enough room for this by closing the door slightly from the maximum.
While holding the door open, pull the check strap tight and mark the location of the mount holes on the
inside face of the 2”x 2” tube.

Unwrap the steering wheel center section and push it into the steering wheel and boss, a little WD40 on
the o-ring helps if it is tight.
Peel the backing off the badge and stick it in the center section making sure you are aligned with the top
of the steering wheel. If necessary, file any flashing off the bottom edge of the emblem so that it will fit.
