Default Need fitment help: Atiwe 968CS-style steering wheel on 964

I've searched this topic six ways from Sunday but am running into dead ends due to the age of past threads which discussed this. If anyone has done this recently I'd sure appreciate the help.

I'm trying to fit an 968CS-style steering wheel made by Atiwe to my 1992 964. I'd purchased it (ages ago) with what I thought was a 964 hub, but it appears to be for a car that was originally equipped with a non-airbag wheel. Can anyone tell me what hub/parts I need to fit this wheel to my 964 and retain a functioning horn?

This is the hub the wheel came with:



and this is where I need to put it:



Thank you for the help!

My car is a ROW 90 964 so had no air bag as standard. These are pics I took when I removed the wheel. I subsequently sold it so this is the limit of the help I can provide.

Thank you John. This confirms the difference between airbag and non-airbag fitment. Even though the wheel is similar I definitely will need different parts since my car originally had an airbag. My challenge so far has been figuring out what that different part is and where to get one!

I don't think you'll need a different hub. In the first pic that John MCM post, the horn contact is the "L" shaped piece to the upper right of the steering column, you need to remove the airbag connector on your car and replace it with one of those for a functioning horn. There's a DIY around here somewhere.

you can buy momo hub 7004 and an atiwe to momo adapter from ebay. I did that and horn works perfectly.

My pictures are a bit too straight-on to highlight it, but the white plastic bit on my car (with the airbag wires coming out) protrudes in such a way that my current hub won't fit flush. Do you know if this is a part that can/should come off?

Thank you for this suggestion as well, if I need a new hub the Momo one looks like an easy-to-source and reasonably priced solution.

Yes, that is part of the airbag assembly and is not used.

Then you get the non-airbag horn contact which is still available through Porsche.

Pics are missing but this explains it... https://rennlist.com/forums/964-1989...made-easy.html

If it has never been fitted to a 964, make sure it has the correct part to cancel your indicators / turn signals (the Tab part in the first pic). I found out the hard way that the 964 part was a lot more expensive than the older version.
