thnx yr response.

a question, though. do you know of any bags that do not use sodium azide?

i don't.

i didn't even know that there was an alternative. tell me, please what that alternative[s] would be. and do you know what manufacturer[s] uses this[these] [alternative[s].

and i guess my concluding remark would be, can the driver's bag be removed and the steering wheel successfully recovered so that the wheel appears as if new?

there really is no need for these bags, i think. my seat belts are in perfect condition. and the way i drive, which is in the classical manner, not the sodium azide bag truck driver style, were a bag to inflate in one of my cars while i was performing a steering manuever, surely i would have both of my wrists broken.

still all ears
