quick steering wheel questions

Hey guys my 89 iroc sterring wheel is falling apart. Im looking to buy a new one off of ebay. Just a few quickies real fast.

1.) How hard is it to fit a 91-92 airbag onto the 89. I searched and they said less then 30 minutes. If it sitll has the airbag how do i make sure it doesnt go off when hooking it up. I dont want the airbag to work,but want hte wheel. Can i not jsut hook it up

2.) Can i get htis type of wheel to fit to my car http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33704

3.) Any other suggestions (i know grant but there expensive)

Thanks a bunch

At Pedersens site go to RATT-PEDAL and click on LUISI.

I'm sure there will be an importer in the USA!

Might have an original if you're interested. Has a steering wheel cover on it but, I could check the condition and let you know if interested (Had the cover on when I got it). I imagine it's pretty close to perfect.

thats cool guys, for the stock 91-92 w/ airbag can those be installed in my car with the airbag still in it but not imployable. basically install it and not hook up the airbag.

Shouldn't be a problem. Just checked the manual for a 90 and couldn't see any reason you would'nt be able to install it, the way you described.

Where do I get a wheel cover for our steering wheels? I've tried like three now and they all were too big!
