It's been done a million times I am sure but wrong crowd tonight. Grant makes a kit to make it work. I am looking into doing one day a -'89 collum with a aftermarket steering wheel so I will have tilt. I already messed up cruise controll prying on the quadrant, and don't intend to fix this. Air bag delete will come in time I am sure, that's when I will do it.
I think I got it whooped, the trim ring was rubbing on the plastic part where the air bag wires come thru. Die grinder took care of it. I did check out the MOMO stuff, just too high dollar for me. I got a nice looking Pilot from the Zone, bout $75 for the wheel and kit. Just have to modify the kit and the column a bit on these air bag models.
