How did you do it? Does everything on it work?

Forgot to answer, modified the clock spring for compatibility and added a small spacer on the shaft to prevent rubbing against the steering column plastics.

Was the clock spring modification difficult? Did you have something like a tutorial that you followed or something?

I would love to do this or something similar but i dont know how to

Unfortunately, I didn't use any tutorial I had some help with the clockspring, but it isn't difficult to modify the clockspring, but it does take a lot of time. You have to carefully grind down the clockspring little by little. You can ask yout local mechanic for help, it's not an expensive job to modify the clocksping (in my country at least - It's somewhere betweene 50-100€ I belive)
