 See no problem with the rest of the installation. Can someone else who

 has installed the wheel offer any advice?

Guy,



Here's what you have to do....you need to grind off the outter connector on

the clock spring. Must be careful here as it is only about 1/16"...and there

is an inner one surrounded by this so you have to be careful not to mangle the

inside one.



Then take a 1/2" drill bit..if you got the correct hub

adaptor..IIRC..5206?..it will have a 1/4" hole in the 5 o'clock

position....drill iet out...



Actually come to think of it...if you go to miata.net..then go to tips from

the garage...then go to electrical..you'll see my posting step by step on how

to install a MOMO Competition wheel..which is basicall the same as the

champion..



FWIW,
