993 RS Steering Wheel Install

It did deflate after it hit me rather than I hit the air bag. Blew the sun roof out which leaked ever after. A car pulled out from the near side. Dead stop, wheel to wheel contact. Broke the wheel and wishbone. Sorry mate didn't see you in front of three witnesses. I eventually got rid of the sunroof and air bags which had been refitted. I had a RS wheel but later swapped to a 968 CS one. The 964 clam shell was hard to find but located one in the States with OBC stalk cut out which I retrofitted.
 
Glad to hear there was no major injury.

There's a good thread (old) on Rennlist about airbags on trackcars being a bad idea. The airbag hits the closed helmet on the chin forcing the head up and backwards, breaking the neck.

Hmmm, had forgotten I'll need one with OBC cut out...
 
^^ Top part of the 964 Cowelling/Clam Shell is generic at approx £20 from OPC. The bottom half varies depending on whether you have Cruise, OBC or neither, priced between £20-£40.

Good write up Andrew, new set up looks great :thumb:
