I have a set of the rounded ones from a '91 80Q i wanted to put on my
'89 90Q.  Couple of issues.  One, the plugs are all different, so there
will be a bucnh of splicing or terminal swapping to do.  not
insurmountable.  Two, the horn contact ring is set up different on air
bag cars, making for a real tough swap in my case.  Not sure if there is
a version of these stalks that would swap in easier or not.

If you find out, let us know, that might be cool to do to an early car
like mine!
