Ahhhhh the old my steering wheel is off center debate. Just for sh..ts and giggles check out a few of the cars you either drive or have access to. You will most likely find a lot of steering wheels off center from the seat. As a matter of fact there are hundreds of thousands of them driving...
On my SLC I used a 1 1/2 inch flat bar 1/8 thick with 5/16 floating nut plates attached that is slipped in from the rear wheel well area on top of the body lower lip which was sitting on top of the chassis tub. I then bolted each side with 4 stainless steel 5/16 bolts through a thin stainless...

That being said wait until that random stranger refuses to believe that you built your car. My wife took my iPhone to the shop for a new...
