Omega General Help / Steering wheel......AAAAhhhhh

« on: 06 March 2009, 13:45:26 »

Bought a carbon steering wheel ages ago and have tried to fit twice now first time found the airbag wont fit so sorted that and got hold of one tried again today and found the blood squib wont fit looks like I need a different one (sounds about right) but looks like it fits different as well so need to get what looks to be a white plastic bracket that it fits to.
I am thinking it would have been easier to change the whole bloody rack and then I could get the adjustable one fitted.
Has anyone else had this problem?
