Mine arrived today as promised. I don't have time to install it today, but here are some pictures from the unboxing.
It's a very nice piece of hardware. It's basically two pieces, the spacer that slips onto the splines on your steering column, with an insert that mounts your steering wheel. This is the side that your wheel mounts on:
This is the end that slips onto the splines on your steering column:
Closer shot of the insert:
A 5mm hex key (not included) removes the six bolts holding the insert in place. You'll need to remove the insert to mount the spacer on the steering column.
Since the insert should have exactly the same splines and threads as the steering column, I just stuck it in the spacer so you can get an idea how it mounts:
As Emilio wrote earlier, there were no instructions. However, there was this warning page.
I found the warning kind of funny because there's a trap here if you don't pay attention to what you're doing. They put the "THIS SIDE UP" label on the insert, which can be installed in either direction. It's the spacer that has to be installed a certain direction, not the insert. If you're not paying attention to which side of the spacer is "UP," once you take the insert out to install it on the column you have nothing to show you which side is up. (Just remember it's the smaller hole.)
