Steering Wheel Adapter Rubbing?

[RodsGreen10]

The cover on my steering wheel adapter is rubbing on the column. What is going on I have taken it apart 3 times and still rubbing. The part my finger is point at. This isn't rocket science but I am over looking something?

[RodsGreen10]

Should I have a spring under that? I am throwing anything at the wall trying to get it to stick. This is driving crazy.

Maybe a tight fit washer under it before you put it on will do the trick.

[RodsGreen10]

It's only rubbing on one side. The side I am pointing at.

The only thing that has changed beside the new steering wheel is the adapter my other wheel had a grant adapter. This one has the forever sharp steering wheel adapter. So I ordered a grant adapter and see if that fixes it.

Face it off on the lathe? Couple a thou is as good as a mile. Jay

I think I found my problem

See this big gap here. What do I need to do to push that back?

I think you've found the problem, I've used 3 of these wheels recently and they all had a 1/16 uniform gap around the column covers. Are the covers good and tight?

[RodsGreen10]

Everything is torqued to spec. This is frustrating as hell. And I am honestly lost on what needs to be done at this point.
Which covers are you speaking about?

Did yours come with the Forever Sharp billet adapter or the grant cast aluminum style?

I've always bought the Forever wheel and A1 adapter as a set.

I bought mine from forever sharp and I used what came in the kit which should be A1 adapter.

In this video from Forever sharp it looks like you may need to use a supplied spacer if the adapter sets down to far.

I got the spacer all of it but my adapter does not look like that one in the video.

Fixed it. It was the cover in the first pic it was bent. Bent it back good to go!

Hey, I’m having the same problem. Were you able to bend it while on the column or did you take it apart?

Surprised to see this being a problem as I have the opposite issue with my forever sharp setup. There’s about a 1/4” gap all around on mine.

Mine only rubs in one location on the cover. I’m wondering if I could gain more room by going to the original canceling cam. The new cancelling cam is slightly smaller. I did order another original to try. I think I’ll break my old one if I try to remove the plunger.

[P7M89MM]

Decided to pull it apart. I disassembled my old cancelling cam and used that. It’s slightly bigger than what I could find in town and it pushed the adapter out just enough that it doesn’t rub anymore.
