I've tried checking ebay / Google / FVD but came up short.
Leading evidence: 'Check ebay / google / fvd' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check ebay / google / fvd' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Are there adapaters available to allow the fitting of a Cayman / Boxster-2 / 997 steering wheel in a 996? The airbag would be one-stage instead of two-stage, but that's ok. I've tried checking ebay / Google / FVD but came up short. Any ideas?
You might try this. Looks right (scroll down to bottom of pages)

Keep us posted.

Thanx pk2, that adapter actually looks like it would fit:
However, I decided to go another route and pimp a 996 three-spoke wheel instead. The work was done by
Dallas Custom Steering Wheel
to my specs (my seats, doors and dash are also in black leather with red stitching):
Ah! Now I know what to call it. I thought "insane spending" was the correct term for my car-endeavors, but "mission creep" sounds a lot less expensive.
My previous car got almost 40.000 usd put into it, in addition to the cost of the car itself. Also, high horsepower-cars are insanely expensive in Norway, I bought my 1998 996 C2 for 435.000 nok, which is about 80.000 usd(!!)
I need to resurrect this thread as I'm planning to install a 997.2 wheel on a 996. I've got the electronics all worked out to control the audio system, horn and airbag. My main concern is fitting the 997 wheel to the 996 steering spline. I'm hoping the (telescopic) offset is about the same. I'm just looking to find the adapter shown above (thklinge). Any help is appreciated.
