Hi H-H,
Fairly straight forward to install if you're using one of the sixties alloy Supaloy or fabricated steel wedges. The things to watch out for are;
1) Where the wedge then positions your steering wheel relative to the dashboard and other finger trapping obstructions.
2) Rotating the steering box on the wedge changes the geometry of the steering arm. It should be vertical in the straight ahead position coincident with the 'tighter' spot of the steering box meshing. It does work even if this is ignored but you can end up with more steering slop in the straight ahead position.
3) The wedge lifts the pivot point for the brake pedal and the brake rod back to the cross shaft can foul the floor depending on how it's all put together.
None of these are stoppers just things to consider when approaching the job.
