Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

I was discussing replacing the very tired leather seats in my 206 CC.
Pictures below.

I had neither noticed nor known or even remotely thought they had airbags in them.


I found some fabric NON-airbag seats and complete interior at Altrincham outside Manchester for a 206 CC for £60.00 collected.

I do not like leather as cold and hot extremes make them unpleasant.


Question now is…….


Will it cause chaos for the ECU and Com2000 unit, ultimately resulting in 1) MOT fail or 2) Worse?

My Chevy truck had a sports steering wheel fitted but MOT guys understood that and a bit of black tape “fixed” it.


Is there a proven way to circumvent all this and fooling the car into thinking it still had airbags fitted?


CHEAPLY.


Also, something that does not need two degrees in engineering or electronic genius to fit or make work.


I know with various things like removing airbag steering wheels etc often guys bridge something with a resistance of some sort.

Thank you.
