    If you delete the airbag you fail MOT, don't you?

    Why would you want to delete the airbag 😂

    Only one reason to delete the airbag...fitting an aftermarket 'racing' steering wheel.  But it is illegal nowadays and an MOT fail so really not advisable. 

    If you absolutely want to do it, you'll need to fit a resistor in place of the airbag, so the SRS system still 'thinks' the airbag is present.

    Is it your daily or will you be using it on track?  Buckets and harnesses quickly get old on a daily.

    You won't but your head will. One of the functions of the airbag is to minimise whiplash injuries.
