STEERING WHEEL 987 on 986 ? will it fit?

[pk2]

Does anybody know if a 988/997/Caymann steering wheel will fit a 986? The main issue to me would seem that the spline pattern and diameter fits the steering shaft & that the wheel is about the same depth.

All input appreciated

Not sure the later airbag is compatible with the earlier system.

Huh, Thanks for that heads up. I had assumed they would have all been the same... sort of generic. I'll have to look into that.

EDIT: From what I gleaned from Wikipedia it seems that while over the years there have been different propellant concoctions, sensors, bag deployment sequences, sensor data manipulation etc, etc, for my purposes it just boils down to the electric "match" in the bag. Thats what starts the explosion sequence in the bag. The differences in the "matches" are weather they're 1, 2 or, 3 amps used to ignite them. I'm not sure why Porsche would bother to change that amperage but who knows. PK
