Steering wheel swap

I know how to swap out the steering wheel from our stock truck size wheel to a smaller and much more nicer EVO wheel but what have people done in regards to the cruise control....

it can be done. i can do it in 5 minutes. the only thing holding me back is i broke my stock clock spring and im using an evo clock spring which doesnt have the plug in for the cruise. if i ever get a RA,OZ clock spring i can put the cruise control in my evo wheel easy.

unless im mistaken. its basically what keeps all those wires for your CC and other stuff from getting all twisted when you turn the wheel. correct me if im wrong.

So it must be so easy you can write a HOW-TO for us then right?

For two reasons:

1) It's a quality Momo steering wheel that fits perfectly in our car without any adapters

2) It has a factory air bag!!!


I think those are pretty good reasons?

I'll go ahead and get an evo wheel after we do our "other" project and then we can do a how-to on it, but if you break my damn clockspring too....it's on.

Thinking back...after we do our other "projects ".

Keep an eye on the for sale forums. A totaled 04 OZ just got put up there for a part out. The airbag blew, but the clock spring should be just fine.
