Re: M Roadster airbag disabling

[Atkin11J@xxxxxxx]

The legality question of airbags revolves around a dealer or repair shops 
ability to deactivate a bag. If you are a non mechanical person you need to 
contact NHSTA to get a document to take to a dealer that says "disconnect my 
airbags". As the owner of a vehicle you can do whatever you want to it as 
long as it does not affect a. required vehicle safety items, ie brake lights, 
turns signals, wipers. etc. b. or makes the vehicle generally unsafe ie 
replacing your airbag steering wheel with a pair of vise grips.

I just pulled the airbag wheeloff my car and replaced it with a non airbag 
//M wheel. aside from some small dimensional issues everything went fine and 
I have zero concern about somebody giving me grief over it.
