Alternator help

Yep, you should have the batt light ON with IGN ON.
Unless the bulb is gone, wires damaged to alternator.
It could be you alternator bad, but check the bulb, all relevant connectors for corrosion, Fuses: ECU-IG, AM2, ALT Sens.
Most importantly, check the wiring as in post #2

Cheers

You remember correctly, I was wrong. With other hubs you have to, but not with these ones.

Re: Any Nardi steering wheel users?

I only needed the quick release once I started using a fixed bucket seat. As it seemed to move the wheel away from me, the quick release acted as a spacer and also made it easier to get out of the seat haha. If you've still got reclining seats it's probably fine without, also depending on what sort...

Personally I prefer the HKB bosses, mine is the older style one though. I do run a driftworks snap off adapter on top of the boss for a spacer and to make it easier to get out of the fixed back seat. https://www.tegiwaimports.com/hkb-steering-wheel-boss-kit-toyota-glanza-ep91-mr2-sw20.html This is ...
