below the lower universal yoke, 180° apart and in
line with the bracket’s switch/sensor hole.
Using the two-part epoxy
SB
, attach magnets
SA
180° apart on the steering shaft. Set a short edge of
each magnet against the shaft yoke (Figure 3a, left
inset - you will install the switch/sensor at the next
step).
