sure it will work ....if you have a hub adapter that will fit it ..
not sure if a momo 6 bolt will work on that or not .. maybe a grant 5 with drille holes ofcourse youll lose your airbags and thats a legal issue as well as a safety one

Could also be an insurance issue. I can not verify the validity of this, but I was told of an insurance company refusing to pay for a hospital bill because of the removal of the steering wheel air bag. It could be bunk, sounds like something they would pull though.

Yea I suppose it might be a legal issue but in my state I have been pulled over in both my cars and they never said ainything about my steering wheels. As for safety issue... to me its not. People did fine with out them for years, and I for one dont want to get in a wreck and then punched in the face. Plus for people who are short like my wife and need to sit closer to the wheel it can actually cause more injuries.
But I say do it, get the custom wheel! Here are my past two...

Both used Grant hub adapters

i dig BOTH of ur steering wheels! where did ya get them and about how much?

[carguy07]

Momo does not make a hub. You have to use a Grant hub with a 6 bolt adapter if you want a six bolt steering wheel.

my addition: momo mod80

You're not really that ignorant are you? ...the human species has a new surprise up its sleeve every day i guess.

If you have air bags, do yourself a favor and keep them in your car.

Air bags can cause injury, shit I've seen one shatter a windshield once in an accident and the airbag only deployed on the passenger side but there was only a driver. But even though it can cause injury, it can typically save you from something alot worse. I'd rather be hit in the face with a big air bag than have my face slam into a sexy looking steering wheel with lots of edges

did anyone notice the fact that that link says JDM focus , Escort, Neon, Mustang. None of which ar JDM. lol

Did fine for years when the cars were made out of steel not tin. I'm sure the air bag deaths are much fewer then the lives or injuries it saved/prevented.

Air bags take out the windshield 95% of the time.

Oh ok. Well I was just saying even though airbag might hurt ya it still helps in most cases

Very seldom do I see a car come into the shop with a blown bag and windshield unbroken. Dunno what the reason for that is. I have my theory, which is by breaking the windshield if for some reason a human head hits it the blow wont be as bad. Now, sounds bad but today's windshields don't break into pieces, they stay whole. So I think a human head wont take as much of an impact if the glass is already broke.

[random_hero]

rooster is a crazy bastard haha

[MrWeeyums]

Heres mine, its a Momo using a Grant adapter redrilled to 6 bolt.

Funny thing about airbags, well maybe not so funny, my friends just went off on her randomly while driving yesterday. Didnt hit a hard bump or anything. Thats GrandAm quality for ya. The car has electrical issues like door locks with a mind of their own. At least it didnt break the windshield in her case.

No, actually the manufacturers recommend that short people get their airbags disabled because they can kill them with the force of sitting so close to the wheel.

Which reminds me, I never helped my mother get hers disabled. Oops.
