i think there is a federal requirement for airbags. if you go to trade in a dealer may not take it. they were not supposed to sell anything with out seatbelts a while ago.

Pyro. I think your best bet would be to contact the steering wheel manufacturer. If they don't make an adapter hopefully they can "steer"
(pun intended) you in the right direction.

Pyro-

That's one sharp wheel.. I would love to swap also, but I'm kinda enjoying all the buttons on the oem wheel..

I just picked up a new version of the double din stereo head..with bluetooth for handsfree drivn..touchscreen..the wheel buttons dont really help much anymore but could be added if ya got real handy..im willing to loose them and since the pass side airbag will be disconnected also..gives me a whole new idea for the dash..Ive located the proper hub adaptor from Grant..I hope this works..if not..Ill make it work..lol..

Pyro. Throw up some pictures when you get the adapter. And I'm guessing the steering wheel is made by Grant also.

hey man, i swapped the basic wheel to a gm leather one. I got lots of pics of the innards if needed.
From discussion on the occ site I thought they didnt make wheel adaptors for our cars.
