Default Please help a Brother out with this...

Ok guys, here's the story...My 94 was the first year GM decided to put airbags in our Corvettes and didn't think of including an airbag shut off switch until the C5's (on my C5 it was very conveniently located in the glove box). I've seen way to many children and even small teens severely injured from deployed airbags, so in the year of owning my ZR-1, neither of my kids have ridden in it, although lots of time has been spent sitting in it while I am detailing her.

This weekend I was out in the garage getting her ready for a show in a couple of weeks, when my 4 year old little Princess comes up to me and asks, "Daddy, have you gotten that airbag turned off yet?" Needless to say, this put a fire under me to get this done!

GM did have a part number for this, GM part 12453830, but I cannot seem to find it by checking the parts vendors websites. There's even a nice little article from Corvette Fever that shows how to install it...

Do any of you fine gentlemen out there have any info on where to get this retro fit kit or know of someone who might have one? I know some people say you can just pull the fuses to cut them off but I've read many places that this does not discharge the charge already on the airbag. Any help will be greatly appreciated! There's a precious little girl anxiously waiting to ride in her daddy's Corvette this summer like she used to be able to!

Thanks in advance
