What's needed to finish this off....

So I traded out an aftermarket steering wheel for an airbag unit and after putting things together I have the following:

What is missing so this looks more complete when I turn the wheel?
Looking at parts catalog picture I just can't tell. I have the turn switch/clockspring cover for a non airbag wheel, but that doesn't line up...

Thanks for your response!

-Chuck

There's a rectangular plastic trim piece that fits into the rubber shroud and attaches to the metal plate with 4 screws.

Is that cover supposed to go between the clockspring and the turn signal box or over the clockspring?

Thanks again!!

I didn't even know there was a 3-screw version. Is that from a 944?

Never seen that version niether,don't think it's off a 968. The steering in that car was aftermarket but can't remember if it was a MOMO or not so maybe the reason why the cover only has 3 screws .

The 3-screw version doesn't have the rubber surround and was used on non-airbag cars. The 4-screw version has the rubber surround and is used on cars with airbags. The 4-screw version has clearance for the clock spring.
