The question is why?

I can see going to an older one because of the tilt.

But an airbag? that doesn't deploy half the time.

Well if you find you can do it I have a steering wheel column from a 98 with key for cheap.

I'm sure if it's a feasible prject with the stock dash.

i changed my mind just get a 5 point seat harnness its alot better than a simple sterring wheel airbag , plus airbags can fuck you up too.

I hope you really thinkn about this too, I have seen seats rip out of there stock mounts and the harness tend to do more damage. If you have a cage Tie the seat to the cage so you cant get choked out by your harness [Wink]
