Aftermarket steering wheel - Confused about horn connection
 

I'm about to put in an Isotta Katiena steering wheel and a Bell Works hub. I'm a bit confused as the wheel appears to have two horn connections but the hub came with only one wire in the harness. I'm assuming the second connection on the wheel is for ground but where do I plug it in?

The ground side of the switch can be ran to any unpainted/coated metal surface.

Thanks Anthony. I actually got the hub from Vivid. :-)

when i do steering wheels i sandwich a pigtail between the hub and steering wheel. basically its your ground.

I ordered one of these and I'll stick it between the hub and extender. Should do the trick.

When its done hook this thread up with a few pics please. About to order a top secret personel steering wheel

Will do. Here's a teaser shot of the wheel in the mean time. Damn, it looks nice - flat bottom, fat grip, love it.
I actually like the stock wheel other than it being just a tad too big, but the lack of telescoping ability is driving me nuts (5'11", long legs). So I'm basically swapping the wheel just so I can put in a 75mm extender. With the proper driving position I'm sure it'll feel like a brand new car.

The hub extender makes a HUGE difference. Tall drivers (or long-legged freaks like me) that have to choose between a comfortable seating position or comfortable steering reach know what I'm talking about. The 75mm extender actually might be a bit of an overkill, but I can easily switch to a 50mm anytime.

Wow looks mean... changes the entire dynamic of the interior. Good work!

It looks great! I could never get totally comfortable in my Z because of the same reason... a lot of my height is in my legs. It's the same thing with the Mustang. Kind of ticks me off a little... any car without a telescoping wheel is tough to get the "right" fit with.

It's shocking to me that there are cars in this price range that don't have this. Especially in a sports car where the driving position matters. My old Civic had a telescoping wheel an I thought that it's a standard feature by now. But look at the Z, Mustang, Evo, RX8, you name it, bolted on steering wheels. Charge more for the feature if you're worried about the margins, people WILL pay.

Interesting choice of steering wheel.

If it makes you feel better my 24k Mazda3 has a telescoping wheel... oh and it's an 06. lol

wheel looks great in there.

:iagree:

All the brushed aluminum compliment each other

Thanks for the compliments, yeah I quite like the brushed aluminum look. Could do without the chrome parts, but it's not as bad as I feared.

CF wrap it! :stirthepot: :icon17:

VERY nice looking wheel, but what about the loss of the driver side airbag? I've always wondered about that.

It's something that you have to decide for yourself. They call it a Secondary Restraint System so I'm not going to be flying out the windshield as long as I have my belt on. Besides, with the hub extender I probably have the wheel at such a distance where an airbag would probably do more harm than good.

How do you keep the airbag light from tripping if you removed it?

The hub came with two resistors that plug directly into the airbag connectors. Then do this reset procedure to get rid of the flashing light: http://www.the370z.com/audio-video/4...u-install.html
