dont you worry, there is no shortage of dumb guys here..
when i redid the dash in the cafe, i didnt even think about it... thats how dumb i am

what i always did when i shut it down at the dock, i would always turn the wheel the way it was supposed to go.... this way i looked like i knew what i was doing.... after a while, it became second nature....

the wheel looks so much better than most, it looks better upside down, then most do upright.....lol

Great looking dash Dave

I don't know if this works or not, but I ran across this post about centering the wheel.

The wheels cget out of alignment due to the pounding they take and the relief valve is constanly opening a tad bit eventually causing the alignment to get out of whack...

BGIII, Makes sense. probably can center it that way it may take more than one try. Then next time you use it you will likely need to do it again.
I think there are better things to spend your time on then centering the wheel.
