steering hub question for aftermarket steering wheel

Recommended Posts

My Supra came with the big bulky style steering wheel,

I then installed a MOMO race, the steering hub I recall only had one plug which was for the horn. The airbag warning light has been on constantly since I've done this 1 year ago.

 

I'm changing to a new Nardi steering wheel. I was wondering what kid of proper hub I should get which will also eliminate the horn signal. I'm just not quite sure what I'm supposed to look for. I'd also prefer one quick a quick release.

 

cheers

Any suggestions?

 

I was doing research and apparently I need a 'hub boss kit' which comes with 2 wires, one is for the horn and another is for airbag, so essentially it tricks the car like it has the airbag, so the passenger one works also and no sign on the dashboard? does this sound right? just want to make sure before I order one of these

http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?269339-Steering-wheel-replacement This is from when I was trying to get one to fit.

 

I ended up buying one from a local company that fitted perfectly and came with the connectors I needed and everything seems ok. Although on my last MOT, the guy said the airbag light doesn't come on, so the bulb may have been removed before I got it.

Thanks for the link that helped clarify things a bit.

 

I don't have cruise control but basically I am left with that yellow cable from the airbag. Me being in Canada, I have checked and the 'airbag boss kit' is a bit pricey for the job it does.

 

If I simply remove the airbag bulb, will there be any other effects from this. Would the passenger airbag still be functional?

 

It looks like I already have a boss hub just not the airbag one.

How much is a airbag steering boss gonna set you back over there?

 

I can't buy it locally, so after shipping and tax I'm looking at about $180 CAD

Considering that they are $130 online without shipping.

 

Seems like a bit much for it to 'disable' a light. That can almost buy me a brand new Nardi or MOMO wheel which I will be buying anyways.

 

It looks like I'll just skip this and remove the bulb.
