I've fitted a motolita wheel but need to fit a resistor to prevent the airbag warning light coming on, does anybody know what the original wheel was fitted to so I can select a resistor with the correct value?
Thanks

Does it look like this ?



This is the wheel in my Series 2 ad I believe they are the same.

If so I seem to remember that someone said it came from an Aston Martin, possibly previous V8.


Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

That wheel was used in S2,3 & 4. I was previously told it had been used by Aston. However, I have seen it in older auto parts catalogues too.

Used on the AeroSS, Aeromax and Aero Coupe as well.
If I recall right (I deleted the pic) should be the Atiwe type 3 ab 365.
There is a sticker anyhow in the back of the lower spoke of the wheel.

Thanks gents, I thought that it was from a bmw which would have made selecting a resistor easy, when I put a multimeter across the contacts it was showing 0.1-0.2 ohms which I doubt, I'll see if I can find a calibrated meter and give it another try.

Can't measure an explosive initiator properly without setting it off!

Try a 1.8 or 2.7 ohm resistor 1/8 watt, not sure but it may require airbag reseting afterwards

Ah that would explain it, thanks, I'll give those a try.
