Default 993RS Steering Column?
I just installed an RS wheel, and am convinced the RS must have a different set of steering column housings to match the absent airbag and momo hub.

It looks a little hokey as is mounted now. Does anyone have pics of an RS wheel/hub area? Or know of part numbers for that matter?

Question answered. There are at least different housings.

Anyone know if they will fit a standard 993?

Yes, the housing for the RS wheel consists of an upper and lower from a 964
upper 964.552.273.00
lower 964.552.275.00

and yes, it bolts on to the a/b steering column when the non a/b RS steering wheel is used

You'd have to have them side by side but there is a definite difference, the a/b version is bulkier and matches the a/b wheel, the 964 part matches the non a/b RS wheel

The photo in post 2 is the RS switch housing cover. Like Bill said the face of the standard 993 cover is contoured to match the standard air bag steering wheel and it is 3 pieces vs 2 for the RS.
If you use the RS parts and you want to still use your cruise control you will need to cut an opening in the lower cover for the stalk.

ha. that would be a long list. 1/4 center console, Rennline - handbrake, pass. airbag panel, lower dash - RS panels, billet hardware, Alpine head unit, speakers, Porsche Cup wheel, Recaro pole position, red belts, Momo shift ****, some sort of VDO gauge where below the switch panel, 964 steering column surround, DAS bar and some sort of camera mount.

And...im spent.

Looks strange in the photo but that is the dash lights dimmer ****.
The center console guage is a voltmeter. The missing thing has something to do with the voltmeter.

Hard to see but I relocated the sunroof switch into the console upper surface, in front of the other switches.
You can see it better in this photo. A few more goodies in the second one.
Also enlarged the shoulder belt openings to allow HANS use, they were too low for my shoulder height.
How did you know it was a Motorsport wheel from the first post?
