Air Bag Sercurity Bolts

[amiers]

Can anyone tell me how to get the 2 sercurity bolts that hold the air bag on a AU2 out. i have been to a Ford dealer and they didnt have the tool! they told me to buy them from a tool shop, which i did and found that the hole in the torx toll was too small. went back and was told thats the only hole size!!!!

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just did mine yesterday and didn't use the specific ford tool. In one of my screwdriver bit kits I had a set of flat blades with notches cut out the centre, I have no idea what they are used for but one of those fit perfectly. Otherwise you could just cut up a smallish flat blade screwdriver to do the same thing, much cheaper than the $30-60 ford usually want and work just as good.

Flat blade with centre bit removed works a treat.

JC, I reckon you should do a "how to" with pics on this steering wheel (including switches) and airbag removal topic. Would be good for when I eventually get a momo wheel.

*GK kicks himself yet again for not buying JC's black and gray Momo wheel and gear shifter!*

GK if it makes you feel better, I ended up with the wheel and T Bar. I am another forum goer who has bought parts from JC.

With the amount of parts JC seems to sell, I wonder could he build a car with them.

OK, let's see. I have 2 spare front bars. One rear bar. A pair of skirts. 2 spare steering wheels, a spare centre facia (radio surround). A spare radio. A complete exhaust system for a 6. 6 spare wheels and tyres (one flat, though). Spare coil pack. 3 spare sets of leads. 4 spare door handles (interior). Original AU accelerator and brake pedal covers X 2. A spare gear shifter. A full set of AU1 discs and callipers and pads. A spare set of front and rear springs (stock Forte front, SL rear for IRS). So.....just missing a few body panels, engine, transmission, diff and assorted nuts and bolts. ROFL!

what steering wheels have you got? and the exhaust? for a sedan? and howmuch :

[JC]

Steering wheels are standard vinyl light grey ones. Exhaust is off the wagon, and is stock 2", or whatever it is, and has holes in the muffler. Free to a good home.

JC, I have the same wagon exhaust stock 2" with holes in the mufflers. and standard gray sterring wheels lol.
