    Trouble installing Personal wheel

    I recently bought a 350mm Personal Grinta steering wheel, along with a universal hub that fits nardi/personal wheels.

    My car is a '91, and therefore has an airbag. I'm fully aware I need a spacer to install the wheel correctly, which I ordered and I'll be getting any day now..
    I went to install the hub and wheel yesterday and realized the hub wouldn't go all the way down. It doesn't press against the column like my airbag wheel used to, but all the splines line up and everything.

    Am I doing anything wrong? Comments, criticism?

          The spacer is the same one that you already have, but you need one more so that the nut can actually be tightened down.
          It all worked out in the end.
