:cheers:
I went about this differently as my better half who is significantly smaller than me needs the wheel full forward. Centre console delete allows me more room to bring the seat closer to the wheel and spread the knees. Not perfect. Would love to get the extension :( |
You gotta keep the wife happy :)
I thought about that at one point but my full bucket seat forces my legs close together like a lady wearing a tight skirt so that was a no go |

I did it myself for the 996. Same fitment as the 986.
I've made a batch if anyone is interested. |
Tell us more about it.
Did you need to extend the wiring in the steering column. What about the SRS wiring? From what I under stand extending the wiring for SRS (Airbag) is a no no. |
I pulled the steering wheel off the car, took some dimensions and spent some hours on Autocad and CNC machines. The worst part is replicate the spline.
The spacer is made in 2 parts: female splined aluminium is a "copy" of the steering wheel side and matches the OEM column. The male splined side is steel made and it's a "copy" of the column, and matches the steering wheel. As you see in the pics, the male and female parts are bolt together: when you fit it you first fit the alu side, then use the stock nut to fix it on the column, then bolt the male splined part on the alu side and cover all with the rubber boot. You don't need to extend the airbag wires as they're long enough, only a horn cable requires to be extended. You can extend it as in the pic. After all this, fit the steering wheel on the male splined hub and tight the extra nut. Extending the airbag wires is not required. But it's not an issue: I did the same job years ago on a Renault Clio Sport and Airbag wires weren't long enough. I simply cutted and extended them and no issues or warning lights came on at the end of the job.http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1494435637.jpg |

Hello,
some more pics. |
Hello, I've updated the pics, both in this discussion and my advert, and deleted many pics that now could only make confusion.
Thank you. |
