You could probably trim down wiring bullet connector to fit the pins and silicone around it to hold it in. Might have to remove it out of the plastic a squeeze it smaller then shrink wrap it. A regular crimp connector may work also depending on the size of the pins. I've done it on that style connector and works well. I hate cutting or tapping factory wires.
Any junkyards in the area? Might be able to located a 90's Ford in there and pull the airbag and see if the connector is the same and just cut it out.
Whilst the subject is going does anyone mind if I throw in too?
I'm likely to remove the airbag wheel from out of my 1990 Vert with cruise which means I also have to contend with those buttons as well. Any advice that people can offer to make a swap go as smooth as possible? Being in the UK can make it expensive to start swapping parts trial and error style so I like to make sure I get all the right parts # figured out before I place any kind of orders!
Input would be great!

Remove completely and put a different aftermarket wheel on? Do you have a wheel in mind? Same advice applies really, but there are a few different ways to skin this cat depending on what you want to do.
I would recommend a new thread however so responses can be customized to you vs hijacking here.
Sorry to thread jack but...
So cruise and horn can be retained on an aftermarket steering wheel as well as a tilt column?
Write up available?
Yeah just to swap out and replace with an aftermarket! No particular preferences really other than the simplest swap. I just wondered if there are things you want to avoid doing or parts to grab so that the cruise control system doesn't start giving you hassle! I'm open to both removing the switches or just re-locating. I wouldn't want to permanently butcher any wiring though so that it could always be refitted at any later date. Will throw up a new thread if it's a bit more involved
The tilt column, wheel and horn are fairly easy. But, unless someone remade the Saleen veloce cruise control bracket again, I'm not so sure about the cruise.
someone does. I just installed it on my car.
Not cheap though
Saleen Cruise Control Steering Wheel Bracket - Engineered Velocity
Add back your factory cruise control on your Fox body Ford Mustang after a Momo steering wheel swap with our Saleen style bracket!
Ultimately, the easier way to get fully functional cruise and horn with an aftermarket wheel is similar to the route I went. 87-89 column (with tilt preferable), momo wheel and hub, engineered velocity cruise control bracket, and 87-89 mustang cruise buttons.
Problem is when you price that all out...it's expensive.
When you wire this up can you take pics and add them so I can see what you did. My hub had those wires in it for the horn button, I’d rather not add the dumb push button if I don’t have to. Thanks !
The MOMO steering wheel comes with with a horn. Easy install and horn hookup. I removed my cruise control and only miss it when traffic is light.
Still fairly cheap for a limited use item (and a product that has use for Saleen owners, which are willing to pay way more for parts than the average foxbody owner). While i'm not really motivated to figure out how the cruise works on my terminator setup and i'd probably never use it, i do feel like factory functions should work on all cars. Maybe i'll buy one and set it aside, because my money says it won't be available forever.
Awesome ok, found my plug which it was still all plugged up. I had attempted this before actually but I guess since it’s not touching those posts behind the clock spring area that are attached to the plug you went into on the video it won’t work lol!! Could you attach to that prong which runs to that same yellow/green striped wire then threw the hub some how to the horn button if that would work.
@Boostedpimp thanks man!
