Ok I am installing a Momo steering wheel on the Nasty. I am not to much worried about the airbag, but i would like to keep the cruise control. The Momo wheel does not have cruise control on it so I think I figured out a way to keep it. here is a pic of the Momo wheel.

I was thinking the set/accel, coast/resume switches are momentary switches. But the On/Off switch is a push switch. So here is my idea. I could use two nitrous/horn button brackets for the momentary switches, but the on/off switch is the one that is getting me. I can't find one that matches the little red nitrous/horn switches. Any ideas where I can find one?

Hey that's a cool idea. That's one thing I miss about customizing the Jeep, no cool steering wheel. Personally I was wanting the little chrome chain steering wheel though. :smiley-laughing021:

Right. But I need the on/ off to be a push switch. I dont know where I can get one that will match the others.

if those pieces are momo, you should be able to get one through them. if not you may be able to use a push on/off switch and modify it so the button part will work on the new switch. also check with this outfit; http://www.thecruisecontrolstore.com/ez-catalog/X380183/0018

or maybe this will work; http://www.brandondist.com/

that is the part that sucks, the buttons are spacro. Sparco does not offer a on/off switch. But The Shack might. Thanks.

It's not a problem. We all wear gloves. Power burns and blood splatter are common driving on the highways here in Houston.
