Default 981 Spyder Steering Wheel Retrofit to 987.2 Spyder?

Hi guys - just curious to see if anyone has retro-fit the beautiful small (36 mm) 981 Spyder steering wheel onto a Gen-1 987.2 Spyder (37 mm)? Obviously it would need a new airbag as well.

Suicidejockey and I are comparing notes. Here's the link: https://www.suncoastparts.com/produc...SPYDERALC.html

A 1 mm difference doesn't seem like much on paper but visually and in the hand the difference is quite large.

I seem to recall that some 6 (?) months back there was someone that had retro-fitted a Macan steering wheel onto a Boxster / Cayman.

Any thoughts appreciated.

I've been trying to steer (get it?) Joel in the direction of this beauty, but for some reason he prefers the 981 Spyder wheel.





There's no accounting for taste.

I have one available if interested. Replaced on my Spyder for the alcantara GT4 version with red stitching along with matching shifter boot to match my classic interior.
