Alright John, thx. Didn't realize they are that sensitive.. I'm going to the states this summer, so I could put them in my bag as "carry on luggage". I guess that counts as ground post?

 

I'm not sure how the airlines and security feel about explosive devices in your luggage.

 

Ahh.. Now I feel really stupid.. Thanks for the heads up. I guess that leaves me no other option than Gert.

 

I have a black leather 3-spoke from an '01 996tt lying around. It's in perfect condition. No airbag. $350.00 takes it. Think I paid $400 for it.

 

But over there Gert should be a great choice... no exchange rate to deal with!
then again, you can't take advantage of the weak dollar I guess.

 

Carnewal's P96 Thicker Steering Wheel

 

dave at msroadrace also sells them, exchange rate does mean better buying from the us on that item

 

Right. Gert wants 400euro which is ~600usd. Plus I have to pay duties also (I think).

Maybe it's better to get a deal on SW+Airbag.. Might be able to work something there..

 

for me i think daves wheel the best deal as is is $800 which in reality will cost me £400 + shipping +vat (17.5%) so all in about £520 delivered to me, this does not include the airbag, the thick wheel from Gert is €760 which equates to about £580 delivered, the airbag is about the same in all locations so I will probibly pick it up from a steeler for about £314, ok the shipping from the states is longer but as i already have a wheel on my car that works I am not in a hurry

 

So Dave sells the CPZ "thicker" SW at usd800? Sounds pretty good to me

 

yep, and he has them in a few colours from what i can gather. you can see them in ebay if you search for the 996 sports wheel i think

 

So how much work is it to replace my factory four spoke with a boxter or 996 3 spoke ?

 

Simple... 2 screws on the back side of the air bag.. Make sure you disconnect the battery and let the car sit about a 1/2 an hour before you start. One large bolt in the middle. You my have to take the old air bag screws from the old wheel and swap them over. The screws are a torx t-25 I think.

 

they do not look like standard dials? have they been changed?

 

Looks like a 964 to me..
