    fillind the airbag spot?

    05-13-2012 06:46 PM #1
    I scored a steering wheel from a new JSW (I think) from work. The wheel is PERFECT. I am not sure why someone at work replaced it, and I don't really care.

    Does anyone have any ideas on what I can replace the airbag with? Do companies make an insert? It will be going in my 1988 Cabriolet, so there is no need for an airbag, just a horn. Oh and something that will prevent me from smashing my face if needed.

    Options?

    Any thoughts I post are my own. I am not speculating on any repair VWoA is making, has made, or will make.

    No one has any ideas? Would a picture help?

    No one makes anything like that. You could find an airbag and just not hook it up. Would be good for resale :S

    Yeah, that is what I was afraid of. Nothing like scoring a part for free, then having to spend a bunch of cash to make it work.. Thanks for the advise..
