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! Zach |

Zach Here you go: https://shop.914rubber.com/searchquick-subm...c?keywords=horn What are the odds you could turn a wood button that would match the 917 knobs you made? I already have the horn base and one of your knobs. My original thought when I bought the puck base was to do a wood button with a small 356 Porsche crest. I still have not abandoned that idea. |

Well, minus the 356 crest. Let me make one and get some pictures and I'll post them up if people want em to make more - assuming I can make it cost effective. I think with a 917 knob it would look really sharp. I was thinking a small ring of maple and most of the center would be Mahogany. In my mind they are flat enough in the center to put on a small crest if someone wanted too. But I have to get my hands on some of the parts to understand how everything goes together. Likewise i"m toying with the idea of laminated window crank handles to tie the doors in. Zach |

Zach - want me to send you my base for measurement, fitments and whatnot? I should state up front that I am not sure that this is the same part that Mark currently or sometimes sells. I bought it when he first started making them, and I think mine might be aluminum, but I am not sure. It is currently 237 degrees in my garage, as it normally is on October 1st each year, so I won't spend too much time looking for it unless you want me to send it to you. I would be very stoked about a maple/mahogany button!!! @Mikey914 can you confirm that you are still selling the base? If so, what material? |
