Ok so i worked it out, below is a guide as i have not come across an intact one on any of the forums. before i embark on this i have 1 question. As the car has an aftermarket steering wheel i need to hook up a wire for the horn switch. The standard system works on a rotating gyro that pushes in a sprung switch to create a connection, so no wires. Now with the aftermarket wheel, i need to add a wire and connect it to the centre cap. the cap connects with a pressure plate to the hub which connects to the shaft and gets a ground. i've tested with an ohmeter and it does get a signal path
SO... how do i get a wire to go from a fixed position (the turn signal assembly) to connect to the centre cap of the steering wheel which will be rotating. there is a hole that a wire can go through, but my worry is that the wire will be wound as you steer, and snap / be unsafe. any ideas? Thanks!
Now for the guide:
1) make sure you have the below kit at hand. it serves 2 purposes. a) the bottom right item site above the steering wheel with the bolt resting on the steering column bolt. use the bolts from the top left to thread into the steering wheel hub, tighten to about 3 turns. then start turning the centre bolt clockwise and it will start pulling the hub towards you. after no more than an inch of travel the hub will come loose. pull it off.

2) pull off the plastic cover. i pried it off with a flathead screwdriver. not sure what the proper way is.

3) now you can see the lock plate. you have to push this back by half an inch to be able to take off the C clip that holds the lock plate in place. so go back to the above kit and use the top right u shaped metal piece and the bolt from the bottom left. that bolt threads onto the column bolt, turn a few times for decent grip and balance. no place the U shaped piece over so that the legs touch the lock plate. add the bolt on, then as you start turning the bolt the lock plate will move backwards. you will see the C clip, pry it out with a thin flathead, remove the bolt and U piece, then slide the C clip off along with the lock clip.

4) unscrew the philips heads and remove the green horn contact (gyro as i call it, i believe this spins with the wheel eliminating the need or wiring.. correct me if i'm wrong though)

5) now you can access the turn signal assembly and key lock etc. the horn push button is the copper coloured piece on the right of the image.

Re-installation.
I think you will need to reverse the procedure. will let you know when i get to it
Cheers
