If you already have an airbag one, you should be OK with any from a Scoob. However, the later the model, the more probs you get with matching the airbag, etc wiring.

I put one of an RB320 on my '98 classic, it went straight on, but you DO need to get the spinner from underneath, and there MAY be some airbag wiring to do. Mine was already done for me, so no probs.

Don't forget to disconnect the battery and leave for half an hour BEFORE disconnecting the airbag.

And when you RE-connect, and switch on the ignition, do it from OUTside the car

Well, yes............except that I got rid of the wheel off my '98 car a year ago, with only 75, 000 miles on it, as it was badly worn. Do be careful buying a "newer" one than you have.
