Made a horn button today Options

[rick 918-S]

I really like the 914 four bar wheel without the butterfly cover but can't bring myself to cough up the money for the 912-911 GT button. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) I was asking about button options a couple weeks ago. I think ury mentioned I could cheap out and get something from Home Depot. So I did.

I bought a 3" plastic cap, cut it off shorter and make a steel disc to fit inside. I used some plastic body clips for the three screws and assembled the disc to the cap by filling the void under the disc I made with fibre glas resin. The button fits as stock and will activate the horn.

Sorry for the crappy photos. This is my first attempt I may make another one that isn't as tall.

First photoshows the disc I made on the right. I covered the outside face of the disc with masking tape. This makes trimming resin overflow easier. The white blob is molding clay to make a hole or pocket in the resin for the rubber center.



Next photo shows the disc screwed to the horn parts covered in tape to avoid being boneded by the resin filling the void under the disc. Once the resin set I pulled the horn part off the disc and trimmed the resin. If you look closely at the photo you can see the resin around the edge.
