Hi Carl,
If the upper and lower portions of the stator tube are assembled, that means
the harness must be protruding out beyond the end, so you wouldn't be able
to feed the assembly throught the steering box. Also you may have either the
upper(short) tube or the lower (long) tube with a slight bend in them
causing the tube to not centre itself through the little steering box hole.
I always run the steering column harness down the long stator tube until the
first bullet connector is just barely out the end of the tube, then fit the
long portion of the tube out through the steering box. Then temporarily
clamping the tube by means of the olive and locking nut, finish running the
harness through until the upper portion of tube can slot into the lower
portion. Then loosen the locking nut and olive and adjust the long tube so
that 1) the shorter keyed tube is pushed fully down the keyed slot as far as
it can go, and 2) final adjust the lower tube so that the switch assembly is
allowed to be positioned correctly wiith the centre off indicator switch
sitting precisely at the 12 o'clock position and 3) the switch plinth
assembly is properly spaced to the steering wheel. Finally, carefully
tighten the locking nut and olive onto the tube to maintain all the
components in these positions.You should expect the lower end of the stator
tube to protrude beyond the locking nut about 2".
