Talking DIY 968 SC steering wheel

Bougth a SC steering wheel from Sunset ( witch I must say is a pleasure buying from very down to earth peoples & service is A1). With the help of a couple of fellas Rennlister from the 968 forum ( John Ethnier & Raj) I decided to DIY the job,started at around 10:30 in the morning (after disconnecting the battery for 45 minutes so that the air bag will be disable) finish the job at approx 2:30 in the afternoon this included assembling the SC & cleaning the mess in my garage.Included are some pics of the main tools & part you need, a 3 ohm resistor "$2.oo" at your friendly electronic shop.As you can see in one of the pic, instead of just tapping the resistor I shrouded it with a rubber cover & tie-wrap it under the dash.Very important when storing the air bag it should alway be store face down.

Just a suggestion... this thread would be a lot more viewable if you'd resize those photos down to something websafe. For this forum, 640 wide works OK.

Got no pics of the horn wiring ,but very simple on those new wheel there is only one wire coming from the back & connecting to the horn ring ,the trick here is not to over thigthen those little screws on the horn ring since the horn ring is spring loaded if you do the horn will be one steady ,you got to have play so the horn pad can be push in & out.
