G day

a escort mk5 standard one won't fit as a escort cosworth uses a sierra
type one,you will find a sierra s/wheel and a escort cosworth s/wheel
will fit each other exept for airbag model cosworths

And with airbag??

I've bought an MINT leather airbag steeringwheel from an 1996 Escort GTi. But it looks to me if it won't fit in my 1995 EsCos.

Ok......Here`s a pic...

Name:  Stickyscampics.jpg
Views: 1768
Size:  88.4 KB

The boss on the steering wheel is Mk5/Escos non airbag(notice the external steering lock teeth).....the boss at the top middle is Mk4 escort(With raised bit on edge for indicator cancelling) and the boss to the left is Sapphire cossie(Similar to Mk4 but without raised bit,and has a cutout internally for indicator cancelling)

Hope this helps.....

this is everything reqd to convert air bag to non airbag,you just need the boss and the s/wheel of your choice,and to remove the airbag light from dash you also still keep a steering wheel lock doing it this way,just happens to be for sale as well
