And the million dollar question:
Who wants to crash test one and see if the airbag deploys?

Why wouldn't it? There's nothing complicated about the trigger. It's just a 12v signal.

I'm sure they test the airbags before selling them for multiple applications.

They told me that they didn't have a hub or adapter for the Vette.

Comprehensible!

That's the best practice to decide on the diameter, design and material from the new steering wheel.
The compatible raid steering wheels are in 320 mm, 340 mm or 365 mm outer diameter available.

The C5 OE steering wheel is 380 mm.

Tom what size wheel is in the picture that you posted? Are there any comparison pictures side by side of all 3 sizes?
