GC8 Steering Wheels / Squibs Fitment
I have a 96'97 T2k with the very old horrible blobby steering wheel ......... bought a later style wheel from a 99... however the plug connectors are NOT the same !
Should I replace the squib / clock spring / steering roll connector ?
Would the squib from a later GC8 plug into the older model car such that the later steering wheel can plug in ? ie Fit 98261FC002 to a 96 car
Or should I fit later connectors to the existing squib
Am not sure if the car / airbag wiring is the same and only the plugs are different.
TIA for advice

Seems there are 3 parts
1 - Steering wheel connectors
2 - Squib and ts wiring
3- the SRS airbag control module and circuitry
... a lot to unpack re feasible, compatible and safety
Reading forums its an endless rabbit hole
The wheel I have has airbag ... the car is a 96 ...pre facelift interior & bumpers but facelift bonnets and lights.
Which later steering wheel is a direct fit for the above ? anyone done it ?
