I've bought one, what size is the main steering wheel bolt? 20 minutes to let the charge in the airbag go, I pressume?

mine turned up this morning while i was in the shower
Haynes does not say what the size of the bolt is, but it mentions 10mins for SRS to loose its charge.. 20mins seems like a cunning plan tho

Those are tidy. Slightly different to the standard wheel that was in my mk2, in the way that those ones there have swellings for your thumbs, my old one didnt. Got Smokeys old TF wheel now though and the shape is very similar to that picture. Very easy to fit.

mine came too.
Same size as the original but much better feel to it.
Now on the lookout for an MG Airbag.

all my airbags needs re-doing next year anyway, so will refit the old module for now and get the lot done in 2010...
yeah it is a lot less slippery than the plastic one i have on atm...
admittedly my testing has been holdng it in my hands and pretending, as my car is no where near me to swap them over

Why do the airbags need doing?They are 15 years for replacement,unless you have a fault.
