Steering wheel upside down.

Been driving around like this for a while now but only just noticed that other zeds have steering wheel rotated 180' different. Any ideas what could be wrong?

Perhaps it’s an Australian steering wheel

Does it pull very badly to one side or the other?

Yeh, was pretty severe so I adjusted the tracking to compensate. Drives straight now but the upside down steering wheel is still a bit annoying. :roll:

Is it upside down or do you drive around in circles? :lol:

It's ok, I just sit upside down in the seat with my legs over the roll hoops. Everything is right way around then. Apart from the speedo, etc.... might have to remove them and see if I can get them to fit rotated by 180'. Pedals are a challenge too but I'm working on that with some complicated rope and lever setup.

Problem solved then, I think you've over cooked it :smart:
