Hi all,
Corsa B
Are there any after market steering wheels which can accommodate for the factory air-bag?
As i'd rather not lose this safety feature 2bh.
Thanks all
Steve

Not really. If you have the 4 spoke one, you could use the 3 spoke one.
Other than that there is 2 options. 1 don't crash, 2 wear your seatbelt.

You could buy an Irmscher wheel, which fits the 3 spoke airbag.
They are about £300 though

disconnect the batt 20-30mins (or days  ) before you want to remove it.
don't point it at your face.
don't drop it.
i remember when me and my dad did mine, felt like we were in the bomb squad or something 
take it easy and shouldn't be any nasty surprises. 
(i had a seat pretentioner go off in my room before - the noise!!! fawk!! )
