    regarding the air bag you wont set it off it takes an electrical charge to trigger it ..once you have disconnected the srs air bag fuse its all good n safe or just unplug the steering colum wiring
    re covering your wheel try calling momo they will help or a Rodd resto place they do it all the time
    re covering the center part just to let you know its illegal to do so as its tampering with a safty feature of the car and will render it unroad worthy

    or you could just get a new wheel from the wreckers they wouldnt be to much as you dont want the exspencive part "the air bag"

    just the outside part where you steer. i know recovering the bag part is illegal and cant be done.

    steering wheel covers from repco or supercheap auto.... covering it with leather stiching is a very expensive process.. you eventually end up with cracked leather or discoloured fabric.... I gave that consideration before deciding to buy a $10 steering wheel cover from supercheap auto... If you're not building a full show car.. don't waste the $$ ..(it does'nt come back..)

    Just my 2 cents worth..
