Spoke to chad earlier by phone and he told me this: Lambo changed the supplier when airbags were introduced to the cars in late 97. The old supplier was a mom-and-pop operation that did not want to refabricate their existing design to meet the new size restrictions imposed by fitting the airbag into the steering wheel. Apparently they gave what they had left to Lambo and got out of the business. Neither Lambo, or any of their suppliers, manufacture this part anymore. If you order the one they say they have in stock, you will get the part that goes with the diablos that have airbags in the steering wheels- which will not fit the 91 to 97 models without airbags. The one that fits those models is on perpetual back order.
I'm visiting the tech bright and early tomorrow to go over this with him and get his thoughts on fixing it. Hopefully it can be repaired per the instructions that both chad and SI LAMBO gave me. I really appreciate your help guys! And if there's anyone else out there with information on this topic, please come forward!
