Keeping wheel centered !!
 
Installed an Isotta wheele ( the one that is flattened at the bottom ) with the hydrolic imco steering system its always off center after a run....guess i should have done some research !! However before buying a new round wheele, ANYONE have advice on how to return a wheele to center with hydrolic steering ?????? guy with the crooked wheele !!

As far as I know its almost impossible to keep it centered all the time. My advice is don't worry about it. Just my .02

If it is a hydraulic helm it is impossible.

Buy a steering wheel that is symetrical all the way around so you don't notice it.

dont you worry, there is no shortage of dumb guys here....:evilb::evilb:

when i redid the dash in the cafe, i didnt even think about it... thats how dumb i am....:evilb::evilb:

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
