4. Unscrew and remove the incorrectly worded setscrews.
5. Fit new setscrews part number SPM 1278 and new lock plate
SPM 1279.
6. The setscrews should be torque tightened to 3,8 kg.m. to
4,1 kg.m. (27.5 lb.ft. to 30 lb.ft.) and the lock tabs
correctly turned over.

Check C4
Steering Wheel to Hub (Excluding Camargue and Corniche cars)
Using the procedure outlined below check the torque tightness
of the three countersunk setscrews shown in Figure 2 item C4
which secure the steering wheel to the hub.
The correct torque figure is 0,8 kg.m. to 1,1 ~g.w. (€ lb.ft.
to 8 lb.ft.}.
1. Disconnect the battery.
2. Feed 31 cm. (12.0 in.) of strong thin cord in a loop into
the gap between the horn button and steering wheel inner rim
to lie against the spindle.
3. Simultaneously pull both ends of the cord sharply and pull
the horn button from the wheel. Remove the contact plate.
4. Check the torque tightness of the three countersunk
steering wheel to hub setscrews. The correct figure is
0,8 kg.m. to 1,1 kg.m. (6 lb.ft. to 8 lb.ft.). Should
any of the screws be below these figures then the screws must
be removed and any locking material removed from the threads
of the screws and hub.
5. The screws should then be re-fitted using Loctite 602 and
correctly torque tightened.
6 . Refit the contact plate.
7 . Fit the horn button and connect the battery.
