i had a crappy BA XR one in mine for a month or so, the only issues are:
1. the airbags are different, you can plug a BA airbag into the AU plug but no guarantee that it'll work properly, didn't want to find out (BA is a dual stage and AU is a single stage airbag) 2. the BA steering wheel sits further out from the indicators/wiper stalks than the AU wheel, i fitted some BA indicators/wiper stalks to solve this. i think theres some photos in my build thread. Cheers Cam

I have a better Q ... why would anyone want to do this? There are much nicer AU wheels than anything ever fitted to a BA.

I was lucky enough back in the day to be able to walk into Roman Autotek in Rhodes and get one new off the shelf for $200-ish
Now finding one in poor condition is not that easy.

ba ones are a fair chunk cheaper, 11ty times easier to find, and imho look more modern that the au ones. but then i always thought the au ones were over rated. and most definitely over valued.
id throw a ba one in my au if it was simple enough. |
