Dashboard conversion 93 -> 94+

Does 94+ dashboard and passenger airbag fit and work well on 93? The only reason for trying conversion from 93 dash to 94+ is passenger side airbag.

What?? No don't do that. Put in a 5 point harness or something instead if you're concerned with safety.

Get a new girfriend.

If you get in an accident, and deploy two airbags in a car that's supposed to have only one, you insurance co. might have a fit over it.

A retrofit may not even be considered safe? The airbag system is more than a "bag". The seatbelts and other parts are meant to work as a system.

Those parts will be expensive as well... unless you go with used parts. Would you trust used airbag equipment?

Sorry to sound so negative about everything, but I'm trying to be realistic here.

Seriously... it's not worth it just for the Dual airbag..... Tell her to wear her seat belt and make sure the seat is far back....

most old airbag systems can do more injury than good when deployed anyway...i'd rather take my chances with the dash than having a bag fly into my face, breaking my nose, neck, or jaw depending on how you are heading into it...

Oh good man. I think it's easier to replace the GF than it is to replace the dash.

The issue is the sensors, I suppose they are wired in paralell, the issue is will the voltage coming out of the '93 sensors deploy both bags, or since you're splitting the current to run both, do you need an amp !?
You'll never know without trying, and that'll cost you nerves and two airbags, not to mention power burns and broken bones, if you accidentally set one off !

The fact is taking the dash out is a PITA 8-10 Hr. Job. And requires you to take out the seats, center console... basically everything forward of the Rear Bins, with the exception of the door skins... and like I said it's dangerous when you start messing with those bags...

4pt. Roll bar, and 4 Pt. Harness are going to be cheaper when you concider the cost of the dash, and the Airbags you'd need to purchase to test the system.
