red rocket Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 On 9/2/2016 at 2:10 PM, Richard Hamilton said: The kit (from Porsche, part no: 997.044.903.00) is £390 inc VAT, and consists of the cruise stalk, a small wiring loom, the lower column cover (in black plastic), a new steering wheel nut, and a couple of torx screws. Time was when you could buy all the parts separately for about £100, but that loophole got plugged some time ago. The only cheap way of doing it now is to find a used stalk, but sellers generally know the value of them. After fitting, it needs coding in the DME, Instrument Cluster, and Steering Column module, Hi Richard, planning to retrofit cruise. Have a stalk on the way complete with wiring, plan to modify existing cover (if i can ever free up the plastic stud that's holding it in place despite removing torx screws) , but what is the steering wheel nut mentioned above for ? Reading other treads there's no mention of it - just fit stalk and wiring and get it coded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Hamilton Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 In the Porsche kit you get a new steering wheel "nut". (More like a bolt really). They say you should use a new nut when you change the wheel, but most people re-use the existing one. New ones have fresh locking compound on the threads, but it is torqued up F tight, and is unlikely to work itself loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
