Hey guys, just a little info for you, check your positive battery cable where it sits on top of your steering u-joint by the battery. Mine wore through at that point ,grounded out and caused a big burn under the dash. $2000 later it was fixed,PLEASE check. Kimmer

Where are you located? Do you have right hand drive? My battery is on the right side of my car and the steering is on the left.... Or am I missing something?

But I have seen folks on this forum who modified a C6 to right hand drive. The e-brake seem to interfere with shifting gears, but the owner claimed no interference.
