I had raised the helm seat two inches for a better view, and found the steering wheel to be a bit low, plus I was not wild about the angle.
So I ordered a 20 deg angle bracket from Telflex.
I have the NFB helm and the bracket did not fit with out some changes to it.
I have now installed the adaptor and am happy with it.
The biggest problem was cutting the center trim piece down to fit. If I did it again, i would probaably just turn a pice of wood in the lathe and paint it black.
