17. TO FIT THE TELESCOPIC
(ADJUSTABLE) STEERING
UNIT
AND STEERING WHEEL
(a) With the exception of the steering
wheel the fitting of this unit does not
diier from that of the normal equip-
ment. Follow the sequence given in
"To Fit Steering Unit" (see page 18,
operations
(a) to (h)).
(b) Ensuring that the car is on level ground
and the road wheels are aligned in the
straight ahead position, thread the
bakelite washer, spigot uppermost, over
the splines of the inner column and
locate it on the top of the outer column.
Slightly grease the splines.
(c) Fit the telescopic metal shroud on to
the steering column placing the smaller
diameter downwards to engage the
spigot of the bakelite washer. The
large diameter end of the metal shroud
fits into the metal cupped washer, the
plane side of which abuts against the
locking sleeve.
(d) With the thee spokes of the steering
wheel forming a
"Y" and ensuring that
the locking sleeve is loosened, position
the wheel on the splines of the inner
column so that the lowermost spoke is
pointing
vertically downwards.
(e) Push the wheel down to its fullest ex-
tent and tighten locking sleeve. This
will uncover an annular groove in the
upper end of the inner column. The
circlip
can now be fitted (Fig. 16).

"To fit Control Head to Telescopic
Steering Wheel" (page
23).
