Is there a way of fitting a non airbag momo boss and wheel to replace the standard wheel on the facelifted 97model?
I took mine off today to be confronted with the fitting behind the wheel with the long piece of tape wrapped around it . The splines fit ,but the afore mentioned fitting gets in the way .I'm not worried about the airbag light at all but obviously need the horn to work . Any ideas anyone ??

I think you are taking about the ring that transfers the wiring to the air bag and horn?

It has a plug in the top of it with the airbag wires coming out of it etc?

other than the horn you won't need it.. although I believe it does cancel the indictors also when the wheel straightens..

You need to sort something else for the horn wiring.

thanks for the help ,although it seems more complicated in the flesh . Anyone actually done it ??

Ive done it, fitted a momo race used a legacy (non airbag) boss & horn adaptor (the new plastic ring to replace the airbag type one, take the plug and a length of wire from the loom of the donor legacy too)

from wat i remember there are a couple of wires to solder between the two but all will become clear when you see a legacy as the wires are the same colour.

Thanks very much.
Not trying to be fussy though, but is there a way of modifying the airbag ring -such as opening up the plastic fitting that sticks out of it with the airbag and horn wiring inside -and then isolating just the horn wires and removing all the ones to the airbag .I reckon this might allow the momo boss to sit on top with 2 holes drilled in it for the locating prongs .

i didnt try mate, i kept the ring incase i decided to put the airbag back on.
