As the title says, I have bought a secondhand clubsport steering wheel to go in my 968, replacing the oem airbag wheel. However, when looking at which hub to use, there seem to be different versions, and I cant seem to find the difinitive answer to which one I need.
There seem to be two hub versions and both claim to fit a 968, like shown below. Can anyone confirm which hub I need?
Thanks, Alex

You need the hub in the bottom picture. Your steering column multi-function switch will work fine; you can get the horn working by inserting the horn contact switch, 928-652-104-01 (currently listed as unavailable, but you might find one at Pelican parts, etc.) into the hour-glass hole in the faceplate of the switch. The brown wire from the clockspring can be attached to the rear of the contact with a suitable terminal. Deactivating the airbag light can be performed in various ways.
Have fun.

Both of those hubs are Atiwe type hubs, if you get one that will work on a 964/993, it will work on a 944/968.
You screw in a horn slip ring from a regular steering wheel, which is the difference between the two that you see.

@Motosport Did you get this figured out? I just completed a similar project on my 89 944 S2 including adding a resistor to fool the airbag system. Happy to share my notes if helpful.
