Your thoughts on replacing steering wheel with airbag to a MOMO wheel....

[*VOLATILE*]

G'day guys,

I just had an epiphany (is that the right word to use??) . I was just looking thru Ebay and found some awesome MOMO Steering wheels.........................only problem is my VT Steering wheel has an airbag..............I really like the MOMO wheels and would like to put one in my car. Do you think i should keep my airbagged steering wheel for safety reasons (mine is the Acclaim after all) or go aftermarket?

If i do decide to go aftermarket, is there much to replacing the airbagged steering wheel with a new one WITHOUT airbag????? Any info would be awesome!!! :coolpimp:

I think it would be highly illegal and I don't think your car wouldn't pass rego.

I think you should stick with what you have since it is illegal to replace an airbag equipt steering wheel with a non airbag one.
Its there for a reason, stick with it.
If you really wanna change it MOMO make aftermarket ones to suit the factory airbag, I have one of these infact.

Gday mate

Unfortunately if your steering wheel comes with an airbag it is illegal to replace it with one without an airbag.

I have replaced the one in my vxs pac. Got a great momo one that has the airbag fit right back in. very nice leather.

It also comes with instructions on how to replace it yourself.

Hope this helps

Yes, it's the right word to use..

Mine was $220.00 including postage (over the net).

But if you look around or wait for one to come up on ebay should be able to get one for about $170.00

I didnt realise it was illegal. My bad boys. Do you have the link to the MOMO airbag wheel????

 

[Shounak]

It's on ebay.. I've seen it.. It's a red and black one..

I reckon you'll be able to get more if you contact the seller and ask..Or just goto Autobarn and ask them for a legal one for your car.. They have heaps..
