Dc5 steering wheel on EG

[oopoc]

I've looked into getting a DC5 wheel for my del sol before, think I decided not to from lack of funding. But that's as far as I got. I'm really throwing this up cause I'm getting back into the swing of things :) dose anyone know if it would just fit straight on the eg rack or would it need to be changed to a dc5 (don't remember if it's the same as the eg or ek rack). Dosn't bother rather way as the guy who bought my civic backflips yesterday, do I still have my ek civic and am more than happy to pull it apart for the sol's benefit. Also if anyone has done this pointers would be very appreciated

you need an ek steering column to fit. stock eg column won't fit dc5 steering wheel. I have a perfect condition steering wheel for below market price if you are keen.

gotta modify hole in ek steering column to accept larger eg lock on main ignition barrel

Yep you need to swap in the EK column

Modify? How so?. I would have assumed they were very close to the same

using your left hand, create a circle by touching your thumb with your index.
on your right hand, make a fist by clenching all your fingers in.

IIRC you need to remove airbag cover (screws are on back of steering wheel) and then you take out the airbag module and you should be able to access the steering column nut

What the crap it that bolt tightened to? Not even my rattle gun could budge it??? Even with rp7 by the gallon.
