I have a ratty old steering wheel I'm going to restore, wrap, and install in place of my Dino wheel.

I want to put one of the hockey puck horn buttons on it but don't know who sells them or what they are actually called.

Help me find what I am looking for!

There are originals and repros.
Look on the Early S registry.
Bring money.

Isn’t there a VW version that does not have the Porsche branding and price tag? My plan is to remove the leather center and turn a wood panel to go in there. So paying an extra couple hundred for a crest gets me nothing.

I found this on eBay recently.
I haven't purchased one. So, cannot vouch for the quality or authenticity.

I have a contact for a $200 one. It’s made of aluminum and isn’t an exact match but looks pretty nice. I have two and I’m happy with them. You need to move the internal parts over from your oem horn pad to make it work. If people are interested I’ll get in touch with my guy and place an order. He’s in Poland so shipping takes 10 days/two weeks.

I have this one, I believe the seller stated that they are repro's and not original equipment (I remember reading that when I bought it anyway, don't see it on his ad now). Either way, I am very pleased with it and the seller.

I started to go the route of making my own, or some variation, but after thinking about the time involved and the entire concept/production process I decided that it was more worth my money/time to just buy one.

For the original post. I don't believe it's the crest that drives the price here, those embossed leather discs are available for around $40 IIRC. The expensive part is the plastic, there's not a huge market for these so manufacturing cost is higher.

The ebay one is plastic. I think its the same guy that sells them at the Phoenix Club show in So cal.
I bought one at the last Phoenix Club show in so Cal. Can't remember what I paid for it.

I sourced the black plastic main piece from 914 Rubber, the chrome ring (the expensive part) from eBay, and the leather from eBay.

Pretty easy to build, and you don't need the leather if you're going to do wood.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Did the same it wasn't huge money,I put a little felt padding under the leather,it looked and fitted better,pic was taken before I did that.
Steering wheel was double wrapped by the PO.

Hmmm ...looks like more sources than I thought. Here is another

https://www.zuffenhaus.us/product/911rs-horn-button/

I bought an embossed leather and chrome trim ring from the Ebay guy. Both nice quality. I scored a plastic base from 914 rubber. My understanding was that he only had a few “seconds” left from an abortive attempt to make them. Am I wrong and they have production pieces now ?

What pieces do you have Oscar?

My 914 rubber one was a little distorted in shape and the plastic was a slight grey colour,I painted it and it looked heaps better,without question the chrome trim ring is a bit spendy but the one I got appeared to be a factory part or fitted like one.

I addd a step to the install. I found that the leather tends to want to come out and looked a little flat. So I cut a piece of upholstery foam and a construction paper disc and glued the three together, then installed. Looks more finished to me...
