Hello, I thought I would make a detailed How To on what is needed to be able to use the Circuit Hero Hub with SRS Clock Spring capabilities and to have Cruise Control OEM switch with a Custom Bracket. This process is the same for the EG/EK/DC. The part it self differs from each. Make sure you order the right one. This install is on my 95 Integra GSR DC2 turbo H23V. 500 hp. Yes I like to keep my creature comforts and my OEM stuff.

You may ask Why keep the OEM SRS clock spring?
- Mainly to keep the OEM cruise control buttons/switch.
- Also to make the install easier everything is at your Hub and Ready to Go. No need to go further down the column to fish for wires.
- Can be easily reversible to put back old stock OEM steering wheel.

First need the Circuit Hero Hub that is SRS clock spring compatible. Then I picked up a Personal Neo Grinta 350mm Black Leather with Red stitching and Horn. The 350mm is the larger of the 2 or 3 options. I feel the 350 looks the best. While other 2 smaller ones are just that too small look little wierd and off to me. The Circuit Hero Hub comes either Polished or Black anodized. Black anodized is a little more expensive but I thought it blends in better. Comes with the counter sunk Allen screws and the SRS resistor. SRS resistor simply tricks your SRS light to stay off. All the way at the end of the clock spring where the Air Back connects to the last connector is where you take the 2 wires and soder in each end of the SRS resistor.

Here we go...

Tools:
Flat regular screw driver
Phillips screw driver
Torx-30 socket
3/8" Ratchet with short extension
1/2" Ratchet with 19mm long socket
Electrical Tape
Soder
Soder Gun
1/16 or 1/8" thick Flat Aluminum to make custom Cruise Control Bracket
I used 8/32 allen head black bolts for the install of the Cruise Control Bracket. 3) 8/32 matching Nuts. About 8 matching washers.

I want to Thank Circuit Hero for providing me with this great option of a Hub and the Personal 350mm Neo Grinta Steering Wheel.

Here is the Final Install. Thought I would show this first. Very Pleased with it



Here is How the Circuit Hero SRS Clock Spring Hub and my steering wheel arrived.



Here is the Counter Sunk Allen screws and the SRS resistor.



Here is the Hub itself as you can see has the notch in the base for the SRS Clock Spring connection/wires and also a rectangle window to get the Clock Spring ribbons/wires into the hub.




--- BEFORE YOU EVEN START UNHOOK BOTH NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE POSTS FROM BATTERY. DO NOT START WORKING ON THE CAR FOR ATLEAST 25 MINUTES. SO ANY JUICE IS OUT OF SYSTEM FOR THE AIR BAG REMOVAL -----

On the Left Side of the Steering Wheel will be this cover. Simply use a flat regular small screw driver to pry the one corner out and will simply pop off.


This is what it looks like on the Left side once the cover is off. You will need to loosen with a Torx-30 socket.



On the Right side is the Cruise Control Switch and Cover. Simply pinch on the back near the actuall buttons on the cover and pry off. Should just come right off.



Loosen up the Torx-30 on the Right side once Cruise Control Cover is off. There is also 2 phillips screws that hold the Cruise Control in simply un screw them.



Just loosen the Torx bolts for now. Now undeneath the wheel in the middle is this cover. Simply use a phillips screw driver to take cover off.



This is what it looks like under the cover. Simply un plug the yellow connector this connects to your Air Bag.



Now fully take our your Torx bolts on each side. Then remove the Air Bar Center. This is what it will look like behind it. Bottom Yellow connector is your SRS Air Bag. The Yellow connector on the Right is the Cruise Control Connector. Then the Horn is the Black 1 wire male connector. Undo the Cruise Control and Horn Connector. Cruise Control Yellow once just need to pry the back of the tab to get it off its metal boss. Then have room to undo the connection. The Black Horn connector at top just need to pry gently the tab on outside towards you and then slide out. Center now is your 19mm steering wheel nut.



Move your steering wheel till you get it into the lock position of the wheel. So when you wrench out on it wheel will not move. Now with 1/2" Ratchet and 19mm long socket and possibly a short extension undo the steering wheel nut.



Once you have initially broke the nut loose. Straighten back up the steering wheel. Check your wheels that everything is straight. Now remove the Steering Wheel. Slide it out may need a love tap or 2. Make sure to gently slide the SRS Clock Spring Horn/Cruise Control and SRS plugs through the steering wheel opening as you slide the wheel out. This is what it looks like.

I also marked up on the shaft with a marker.



Then I slide on the Circuit Hero Hub. It takes a few seconds to make sure that your Clock Spring is pointed up and the Hub Top to steering wheel holes are straight.

Here I was just mocking up where I would like the Cruise Control Switch to go. Ideally wanted it down a tiny further to be out of way of the right column controls. I then also marked the top middle of the Hub with a Marker just to use as a reference.



Here is the begining of the bracket I made out of 1/16 Aluminum it works I may make it out of thicker 1/8" Aluminum. I took my bracket that I fabbed up and electrical taped it to the hub to see about where I wanted it.



I then marked with a knife tip where I wanted the hole to go through the custom bracket hole I made. Then I took a punch and hammer punched the mark. Then I matched up a drill bit tiny bit smaller then the 8/32 bolts I was going to use to install it. Drilled the hole. Then tapped it with the 8/32 tap.



The Custom Bracket that was made for the Cruise Control Black Wrinkled.



Installed onto the Hub. On the Hub part I put a washer between the Hub and Bracket. Also used some Loctite on the Allen head bolt into the hub.



As you can see in this picture the Bracket that was made. I also used about 5 washers on the Cruise Control offset on the back of the bracket to make it flush with the other mounting point.
The bracket needs to be spaced about this far out or the factory yellow plug connection will be bottoming out on the hub.



Here is the Horn Button. Simply female connection is used. I first was going to use the stock OEM connection but decided not to since was a bit bulkier then an aftermarket female connector.



I cut the horn wire about here. It was too short needed to make it about 4" longer. So I simply sodered on 4" longer of roughly 16-18 gauge wire with an Aftermarket female connector.



This shows the extension I had to make roughly 4" longer.



Here is the SRS resistor that is provided. I simply took the factory AIR Bag SRS connector off the AIR Bag. Cut it off. You can go to the junkyard and get the connector out of a car if do not want to ruin your Air Bag. However it can be easily sodered back on for use later on.
Then I simply sodered the 2 wires one on each side of the resistor.



The resistor tails are very small and very brittle. So I cut some cardboard out in the size of the connection and electrical taped it to give a tad of strength.



Hooked the connector back up. With the SRS connector inside the hub and the horn wire.



I installed the Steering Wheel with the Counter Sunk provided bolts. There seems to be enough room for the SRS connector to be curled up into the Hub it self. Since SRS Clock Spring rotates will do no harm.



As you can see here went with an aftermarket slimmer female connection. Connect the horn connection and then press in the Horn Button.



I was also able to clip on the factory Cruise Control Cover.



Front View.



End Result... No SRS light on... Horn works.... etc..... If do not plan to take wheel on and off... I would probably use some blue loctite on steering wheel counter sunk allen bolts.
Overall I am very pleased with it... does the job holds the cruise control switch. It is out of the way from my fingers grabbing the wheel. I may be make it out of thicker stock next time so can put a bit more pressure on the buttons when pushing.

If anyone wants one of these Custom Bracket Kits for the Integra Cruise Control Button. Email will include all hardware as well. ExplicitSpeedP@aol.com



I made another bracket after was happy with the bracket fitment. Made it out of 1/8" Aluminum. Doesn't even budge when pressing the buttons
