Default Temporary Steering Wheel

Does anyone know if the steering wheel from other models fit a 98 SC400?

I'm looking to upgrade my steering wheel with the wood upgrade, but need to have the wheel off for a few weeks but use the SC for my daily driver. And there are some ES/GS/LS wheels on Ebay and the local wreaker. Can I use any of these (without the airbag temporarily)??

Thanks.

a fellow SC member on CL has the GS steering wheel on his 92. He said that it fit except you had to do some modification to the harness for the airbag.

As Sc4oo stated it fits but to get the Airbag to work you need to mess with it, but if you are not worried about the Airbag I would say yes you could temporarily use a GS wheel while yours is sent off, what is this Wood Upgrade you are talking about, I think recall hearing about this, Do you have pics or a site?? Can you take pics once you get it back to let us see how it looks...............



Thanx

Yes, all the wheels have the same bore so you can use any wheel. The airbag fitment is the only issue. Also, the 3-spoke wheels (some of them) are airbag compatible from what I've seen. The RX and GS wheels seem to be the same.

As for the group buy, PLEASE read the entire thread. ALL QUESTIONS have been answered in that thread. Once you guys are ready to actually send in your wheel, contact me at GS430@mac.com to process your order.
