Curtain airbags

maxi_crawf · 8th November 2018, 06:12

So just out of idle curiosity if I happen to be scrabbling round a scrappies and find a 75 or ZT fitted with curtain airbags is it possible to remove and transfer them to a 75 or ZT that does not have them originally fitted?
Are any other parts needed as well?

Yes, but you need to transfer the headlining A and B pillar trims, and then a quick ZCS coding change followed by a T4 session to introduce the new airbags to the rest of the car

I think I'll keep a lookout then on my travels.

Remove the fuse box cover in the passenger footwell Roy.

Have a look up towards the top of the dashboard near the a pillar if the wiring is present you will see the airbag plug taped to the side of the main loom.

I'm pretty sure all cars have the wiring in the loom, but you will need the short wiring looms from the car loom to the airbags themselves.

I think there were different headlinings, without head airbags you had black plastic 'crash ribs' along the edges of the headlining (like the back of the non-airbag A pillar trims), with them you had no ribs.

So maybe you can just peel off the ribs from the non-airbag headlining....?

Also, the B pillar trims appear only to differ in having a hole for the retaining peg to pass through, and I think you could add the holes to standard B pillar trims (but the hole may not be exactly round, I need to check).

Also, what on earth is the "ITS Deployment Ramp Device" mentioned in Rimmers' info here??:

Er, anyone?
