Also.. tighten both sided the same number of turns or your wheel won’t be centered…

There are a couple of YouTube videos on doing this for a 320 quadrant. It’s pretty easy. I tightened mine up a couple of years ago, took about 30 minutes as I recall.

Having not done this before I wondered if anybody has any advice of how to determine how much I need to tighten it.
