    C1 Steering wheel orientation

    A few weeks ago, there was some discussion of this, but there were conflicting opinions. First, when the front wheels are straight ahead, do the spokes of the steering wheel form a "Y", or is there one spoke that is staight up, so it looks like the Mercedes-Benz symbol?

    Second, from the driver's seat, are the two pins on the hub that hit the canceling cam to the right or the left? My car's a '58. Thanks, as always!

    Mike,

    I would presume that the spokes should be at the "10 to 2" position allowing an unobstructed view of the instruments and I'll check the canceling pins shortly.

    Mark.

        Mike,

        My wheel has a small letter "M" stamped at what I believe to be the top of the wheel. There is also a small line or "I" stamped into the top of the column shaft.

        If this letter "M" is placed at the top position (the line @ top and wheels straight ahead) then the cancelling pins are on the left if viewed from the drivers seat.

        With this combination, the indicator cancels within 1/6th of a turn in either direction.

        Hope this helps,

        Mark.

            With the wheel correctly installed (like a "Y", with the index mark on the steering shaft at 12 o'clock) and the wheels straight ahead, the cancelling pins on the wheel hub should be at 8 and 10 o'clock.
