Default steering wheel adpaters

We have a large amount of CNC mills and lathes. I have the oportunity to make a few cnc'd steering wheel adapters for the c5. Does anyone have a pattern ????

I have been told to make a drawing and we would make some. Offer them on e-bay..... These could be very c5 specific in design.

Can anyone help me out??

Would there be any other C5 parts that you guys might like to see???

As long as it doesn't cost much.

Are these the steering wheel adapter for aftermarket wheels such as Momo/Nardi/Sparco ? If you can make one that will enable me to still use the clock spring (so I don't lose horn function), I'm interested. Also include the 2 ohm resistor with correct connector or at least with some kind of connectors that can be inserted into the SRS ECU side connector.

The probable problem with this is about airbag removal liability. The law side of it is pretty icky, with lawsuit-happy people and lawyers abound.

I have a manufacturing engineering background and I know that if things don't get produced in mass quantity, the cost becomes extremely prohibitive. If this thing is cheap enough, I'll be more than happy to replace the modified/machined Momo adapter that I have on mine
