Based on that I would say you don't need it. If you decide you want one I have an extra I can ship to you for a whopping $35.
Thanks Chuck,

I'm waiting for the hub and steering wheel to arrive and then I'll try it out. If I end up needing it, I will definitely take you up on that offer.

Also, are you saying to just remove the whole clock spring and replace it with the momo adapter? or does the momo adapter go on top of the clock spring.

Cool. Sorry, I have never installed a wheel without an air bag and horn. I am sure someone with that knowledge will chime in.
