I had checked with Momo and OMP and neither listed a hub adapter for a F355 It might be in their European catalog? OMP and Momo have the same bolt pattern.

I just installed a wheel on an SRS equipped car (non ferrari, but it should translate). Anyway you can get a hub from either sparco or momo; however, the momo hubs usually only fit momo wheels, while the sparco hubs are a bit more universal. OMP would be another source to check as they supply the challange components. As far as the SRS goes... I used a resistor (included w/ my hub) to act as a dummy signal to keep the SRS light from coming on. Also, make sure to handle the air bag w/ extreme car, and NEVER store it face down!

PS: if you don't mind, you can just pull/unplug the SRS computer. Should you not have a resistor to use.

I don't know abou tthe 355, but in most other cars removal of the airbag will cause an ECU fault to be generated, and keep the silly airbag light on. It should not, however, affect the car's performance, drivability, etc. in any way.

Again, no clue abou tthe 355 in this respect...

I added a OMP Ferrari Challenge wheel to my 95 F355.I disconnected the dash light but it does not
affect the ECU. The wheel is suede and miles ahead of the ugly stock wheel in feel and looks. You will need a Challenge adapter to make any aftermarket wheel fit. The adapter will fit Momo Sparco or OMP wheels. You will need to machine one or get one from a Challenge car.

Has anybody install aftermarket steering wheel on 98+ 355 with airbag? Will there be any problem if I just take away the air bag? Will it affect the ECU? If not, is there any steering wheel fitted with airbags?
Thanks
