    Wink RE: airbag

    Here's what I found on the Momo site....

    Every automobile manufactured in the United States must be equipped with an automatic restraint system which meets federal safety standards. MOMO has been advised it may well be a violation of federal law for any manufacturer, distributor, dealer or motor vehicle repair facility to remove an airbag or otherwise render it inoperative. Accordingly, federal law should be regarded as prohibiting MOMO distributors from removing an airbag steering wheel and replacing it with MOMO steering wheel.
    MOMO Expressly disclaims any liability for any and all damages, injury, or other recovery related to any MOMO steering wheel installed in a vehicle previously having an airbag system.

    Since mine wasn't manufactured in the US, & I'm not a manufacturer, distributor, dealer or motor vehicle repair facility...

    This,

    In conjunction with the Momo/Isuzu hub worked for me.
    Though if I had a "do-over" I would use the thin version, as the wheel is now a little far away from the control stalks.

    Man, that looks good. My leather is all messed up around the outside of mine. I was thinking of having it recovered, but now I'm looking at yours and diggin it. My only reservation is losing the airbag. I've had two close friends and one family member now all saved from head trauma by the airbag in their cars.

    UGH. The decisions we have to make or awesomeness. Hahaha.

    The saying is: "Great minds think alike - and then there's YOU two!"
