ok, i've never had experience with this item, it seems the spline end has a c ring clip,is it just a matter of removing the splined bit from just behind that clip? how big is the piece?, do i need to replace the whole steering column or just the piece on the end? there are pins on the b210 wheel which protrude and i can see where they match up to the small plastic gutters on the column, but there are no pins at all on the 240k wheel, if the only downside of this would be that i have to manually stop the indicator when finished with it i'm willing to accept that as a loss. so really i'm just after some type of spacer to match up the spline sizes. besides that its a perfect match even to the horn interfaces. is a 2 or 3 mm splined shim too thin to be safe?
