Default Spec-C steering wheel and airbag clocking spring

I have for sale a Spec-C steering wheel.
The steering wheel will fit classic and newage JDM or UK models.

The airbag clocking spring is a professionally modified JDM bugeye item (modified to accept 3 spoke wheel airbag) I think it will also fit a JDM classic but I'm not 100% sure.

The steering wheel is in excellent condition but has got some very very minor wear.



I'm looking for £140.00 Delivered to mainlan UK

Was that a little dig at the price or have I picked It up the wrong way?

That's not the same wheel though, different leather on the bottom section and the airbag is different.
The Spec-C wheel's normally go for more money.

That's the right price if it includes the clockspring. Though I'm not sure how compatible that modified clockspring will be with all versions. Ps that is just the same as a widetrack ver 9 or 10 wheel, they usually fetch more than ver 8 wheels. But clocksprings are all different from version to version and jdm to UK

Thanks for your comment
I Know what your saying with regards to the clocking spring and if it's no good to the buyer I'm happy to adjust the price.

Your going to need the plug off a clocking spring for a 3 spoke newage steering wheel or 1 that has already been modded.

Just to add it's the plug from the back of the airbag you need as it's different to the 1 on the 4 spoke wheel.

Right I didn't seem to get that with my wheel Will need to source that then... So basically I won't have an airbag and can't disable the airbag light?

Your going to need a clocking spring to suite the airbag on the 3 spoke wheel, then you will need to cut the plug off and replace the one on you clocking spring with the correct one for the new wheel.

Unless you do this you will have no airbag and it's now an MOT failure

You can disable the airbag light with a fuse placed in the right place. An auto electrician could do it easily.

The wheel was removed from a 2003 Spec-C with DCCD the clocking spring is from a bugeye.

Yes it will fit but I'm not sure how you would get the airbag to function if you wanted it to.
