Has anyone ever put an airbag steering wheel in a Ke. A friend of mine wants a ke36 and the first things her mum asked was "does it have airbags". So was wondering can it be done?

i would think that yes i can be done... but i imagine it'd be a headache. also airbag designs i would imagine are completely incorporated with car design wheel design driver position etc. etc. so fitting it into another car could happen.. i wouldn't trust its reliability though.

Look up the cost of a full air bag system, and it's something that should be done by a qualified auto-elec. Cause in the end those things can break bones if they go off when you don't want them to. Knowing what's in an airbag system i would not bother, just get a later model car tha has them standard.

I can just imagine the thread for the install.
Day one: Just got air bags for the KE! Day Two: Trying to do the air bag install! Day Fifty Eight: Just woke up from the coma. They are EXPLOSIVE. It would cost a hell of a lot more to put one in a KE than a car with them that is legal. If your mate is serious about doing it he will have to do some serious research. Plus a butt ugly air bag steering wheel in a KE? Probably cheaper to put a full cage in. This post has been edited by blzbub666: Jul 28 2010, 09:46 PM -------------------- |

Even if you did install them I doubt it would ever be legal.

I think if your parents ask if the car you want has air bags it pretty much rules out KE's.
Or basicly anything old and fun. -------------------- |

Forget it. It's not just a steering wheel, its some electrics and sensors and calibration, it will cost more than the car.
