What do you guys do when you delete the air bag with the stock steering wheel??

i hate the huge opening but dont want to put it all back together (i sold my stock bags and activation unit, so its not like i really can)


i know a sponsor sold a epty steering wheel thing, but i cant find it anymore.

Do you guys just go to an aftermarket wheel?

 

Aftermarket wheel and adapter. It will give even more weight loss.

 

What I did (because no one sells the "fake" covers anymore) was pull the airbag out out of the wheel and put the wheel back on.

An aftermarket steering wheel will save more weight, but isn't as stealthy, if you are into that kinda thing.

 

I wondered the same thing when I deleted my passenger side air bag. Removing the steering wheel airbag just to retain the cover seemed a little too dangerous for this old man - but I wonder if you could try and find one from a car that's already deployed it's airbag. You could probably make it work.

 

I'm pretty sure when the airbag goes it pooches the cover aswell.

 

Yeah, it kills the cover. Once the power wires are killed there should be no chance of it going off. Just in case, I keep my head clear of it...

 

I plan on doing this soon and retaining the stock cover I will post up how it goes

 

if youre not going to run a front airbag why dont you go to a smaller better looking wheel

 

pulling the driver airbag and retaining the stock cover saves 2.5lbs

 

I did this since I use a linelock and transbrake.

 

it would pulll from the sleeper look....

 

i got a 5" tach, gauge pod and kill switch on the back of my car lol nothing about it is stealthy.

Ill have to start saving for a new steering wheel then. Anyone got any suggestions?

 

Grant.

 

sparco makes some BAD *** steering wheels
but Grant are nice and affordable.

btw do u have a link with pics of your car?

 

i will in about 3 days when its finished and polished up

Its currently at a neighbors shop getting setup and scaled, then once i get it back its time for a good claybar/wax and a photoshoot.

Ill get pictures of the enw rear end, and all the summer mods too. Ill make sure to put a link or the photos in the drag section

 

someone does make fiberglass stock looking replacement cover.

 

I got a real nice lookin grant with a button for the tbrake and quick hub from burkhart and came with a nice stiched in center stripe i like it much better then the stocker

 

I love my sparco, Got the side horn button for my 2 step. Was a little pricey though, the steering wheel, hub, and button cost just over $300 bones.

 

Sleeper look? On a drag car?
