I'm pretty sure PVD have a Momo airbag boss listed in the catalogue (not got it to hand tho, sorry).

i looked at ma maxp moddin book, and the boss they used was deff a momo 1, u can c it printed into the metal. It also came with conections for horn, and 1 for the yellow airbag lead, so the warning light still functions as normal, even though theres no airbag.

Cheers for that Tomas, I'll dig their number out and give them a ring to see what they say.
I just want to make 100% certain that I get the right boss, as I don't want to take off the original and find the new one don't fit.
Have you got an aftermarket wheel on an airbag car?

Cobra, Demon Tweaks told me that they DO do a Boss for momo airbag models... My insurance company didnt like the Idea of no airbag though!

Yes, there is an airbag and non airbag boss, but I'm told Momo don't do the boss for airbag cars.
I got caught before with a previous wheel because the boss wouldn't fit my car.
I've got the wheel, I just want to make sure I get the right boss before removing the present wheel.

didnt know they made different bosses for air bag and non air bag.

I fitted a steering wheel to my mates 306 just ordered the steering wheel and boss for a 306 and it fitted fine.

have any of you actuially tried fitting it?

that may sound dummer than it should as i havent seen the two attachements to compare.

yep i wanna know this also (as ive a momo race wheel, and i have a non airbag boss, and my cars got an airbag :( , ididnt notice it was wrong till i had the steering wheel off!!

In the haynes/maxpower book the boss fits over the reel of tape stuff, and has a plug to put into the yellow airbag lead, to disable the airbag warning light, but it doesnt say what company its made by, and the wheel they fit is a momo)

I'm about to replace the standard wheel in my '98 Sport. I'm removing the wheel and bag but want to know what boss will fit a Corsa that had an airbag?
The wheel is a Momo Apache, but I'm told Momo don't do a boss for airbag cars, and that I'm probably gonna need a Raid boss.
What have you guys used with your wheels? I want to make sure I get the right one first time.
Thanx
