2001 steering wheel

Mom has a 2001 ranger xlt 2wd and brother had a small mishap that set off the air bag.

Since mom is very small in stature, 4' 11", I feel that it would be better to replace the wheel with a non air bag system. I found a Momo wheel that looks nice but I can not find any info on the steering wheel adaptor needed to install it. Have any of you installed a custom wheel on your 2001? If so can you share your experience?

Thanks
Steve

The air bag is functional on the passanger side with an off-on switch. This is getting away from my question!

I think the system will shut down without the drivers side bag.
