Help, need a picture of the clockspring

Is there anyone that can take or has a picture of the clock spring behind the steering wheel? I am modding my P5 to accept the RX8 steering wheel and would like to see if the clockspring's bolt pattern is the same as the P5. It should have three bolts, I just need to know where they are.
BTW, does anyone know the cheapest online place to get parts such as this?
Thank you in advance!

Thanks Epox, that looks very promising indeed! :D
It looks to have the same bolt pattern so I think I will give it a shot and order one. I have already verfied that the steering wheel fits to the column, now I just need to order the clockspring and perhaps the connector/harness behind the clockspring to splice into. You wouldn't happen to have a parts catalog would you?

On a side not, it looks as if I won't be able to connect the airbag since the RX8 bag has two igniters (each ~2 ohms) whereas the P5 bag has only one igniter (~3 ohms). Oh well, I don't really like airbags anyway...
