Steering wheels?
« on: 21 July 2011, 17:08 »
Just wondered if anyone knew what size the standard 3 'spoke' steering wheel is off a '01 mk4 gti? Also looking to get a flat bottom wheel, would the new scirocco/eos one fit? Cheers

Can be done but - no guarantee it will activate in the event of an accident  :shocked:

Oh ok that's cool, thanks for those links but none showed how to fit one, any idea if it would be a lot of work, and a new boss/steering rack?

Would look awesome, but with what I just read about having an unpredictable airbag sitting infront of you, I'm staying way clear :lipsrsealed:

I think I'd rather have my face impaled by a mk6 steering wheel than an airbag, they are not pleasant so I would probably run without one tbh. I think maybe having a word with someone who had already done swap and see what the process would be. Thanks guys :)

How would they no there's no airbag in there, if I get a blanking pin for the airbag sensor and hide it, surely would be ok?
