Is this the airbag ignitor

Hello lads, im in the process of fitting cruise control to my 1992 fdR1. The car im taking the cruise control gear off is a 1994 typeX with airbag. Mine doesn't have an airbag from the factory. Now this is what i want to know. On my car there is a black plastic ring which is used for the horn push on the wheel. Now on this other car there is this same thing but it looks much bigger and i was just wodering if it is something to do with the airbag?

The first pic is the ring off my R1 and the second pic is from the typeX

The air bags use a orange and blue connector.

I found out it's called a clockspring. The airbag equipped cars have the bigger clockspring due to the extra airbag wires.
