Thought I'd try this here first before I went to ebay.

Anyone interested in a 996/986 3-spoke air bag for use in a 3-spoke steering wheel conversion? These are generally listed on ebay for $500+, I'm asking $350 shipped.

Here is the air bag:





Here's my write-up on how to do the conversion. You'll also need a 3-spoke wheel and a clock spring, all of which is documented in the how to. In addition to being pretty, you end up with a thicker rim with wings and a much newer air bag.

And here's what it looks like installed:



For the record, the air bag cover was originally a delightful shade of brown, which I re-dyed black 4+ years ago. As you can see, it has held up fine.

I found a leather covered air bag which looks even spiffier with my french seamed dash, etc. so my old one is now available. Here's a crappy cell phone pic of the new one:

Please tell me that the color is off on that pic. You didn't change to bright yellow did you??

gregeast

LOL, just a bad cell phone pic in the dark in my garage. I'll take a better one!

How much for this AND the modified wheel for 951 installation?

gregeast

There are several 3-spoke wheels on ebay right now in the ~$350 range. Plus you'll need a 996 contact ring.
