You installed the whole bracket too low on the steering column. If you install it correctly higher up on the steering column, which takes some time, all this cutting and grinding is completely unnecessary.
At the time, these brackets weren't designed with the swallowtail sheet metal differences in the design. That presented the installation challenges, and the info was passed on to the company for their design updates.
@@ThrottleGrotto nice work. I may have skipped over that in the video. I had issues getting slack on the pedal in my car so I saw this and considered cutting and grinding but it turns out the bracket just needed to be closer to the steering wheel. Just would hate to see people getting confused and cutting up their new parts
Brill another golf episode!! Keep going and making progress
Yes! I'll be out in the garage working on the car again today, trying to plan this week's episode!
Where did you get that clevis?
I went to a large nut and bolt supplier here in town - but you should be able to get one through grainger or some other online hardware seller
