Well im good to go now! Ended up replacing the cap screws with studs and fastening the helm directly to the hub then putting the studs through the dash and shimming the collar.took a little creativity but all is well now.just wish i could get through to cp performance and tell them not to ship the other one now.

Awesome! Glad to hear it wasn't anything serious!

great...unreal how touchy that deal is...how did you do the studs ? did you do away with the cover on the outside ?

Nope.theres stainless nuts on the face with small ss pipe spacers in the recess of the outer collar.and these are extremely touchy.there can't be even a hint of binding
