Pat, I love your thinking but the air bag was in the "new" design at the end of the movie, not in the Defender, just FYI. All the best.

Don't bet on it. When Clinton(?) retired the SR71's there were a bunch of spare rudders that popped up in the LA Recycler for $500 each.
Really, wow, I didn't hear about that! What happened to the rudders? Did any of them make it into civilians' hands or did the government confiscate them all?
