I'm looking for a 1965-1967 911 horn button. Back then they made two styles, one had side wings on it and one was just the simple button.

I'm looking for just the button to make a 914/6 GT replica wheel.

Can anyone help me find one???

I have tried Parts Heaven and EASY.

Thanks.

Took me forever to find mine. I had given up infact. I bought three from various places that were wrecking yard type places, and in each case the leather was in terrible shape. Went to New Hampshire on a business trip. I was in a warehouse district and there was a destroyed early 912 that had been cut apart for something, and there it was in perfect condition. Found someone inside and paid 5.00 for it.

Took me forever to get the horn to work again.

They are on ebay all the time. I've seen 5 or 6 of them in the last 6 months. One sold last week for something like $87.00.

echo_c nyons should be ble to help. He's "hording" them

that'd be "hoarding" them.

although - if he'll put out if the price is right - wouldn't that be "whoreding" ?

my _ key doesn't work

I acutally bought a bunch of them with only a couple that were in decent condition.

My BIG plan was to source the leather and debossing of the crest and restore a complete RS/GT look wheel.

Well

I ended up selling one good one and keeping the other....

But if you know someone who is willing to deboss some crests into leather I have a bunch of caps "cores".

I've also got one good one and one without the leather. Should someone do the leather, I'll definately want one.

Thanks for the help.

The quest goes on...

Bump: 3 years later...

This thread caught my eye. I think would like to do something like this, especially since my horn is torn to pieces right now. Does anyone know of anyplace that sells originals? Replicas? Anyone here have extras lying around?

I'm not really interested in paying $369 on ebay

You'd think someone would be making a replica piece since used ones regularly go for over $400. You can get the embossed repro vinyl or leather on ebay from time to time.

Yeah, like somebody should make...

Tail lights with gaskets
Shift knobs
cv joints
fuel injection parts

HA! ask and you shall recieve. A full replica, too bad they want $100 more than what it should go for.

Mittlemotor.

The early 911 gang has set the price so $350-400 is going rate.

LOL I scored 5 16" fuchs from a guy on craigslist for $175. AND, he threw one of those horn buttons in the deal. The leather was wasted, but I got one of the vinyl repop ones from ebay for like $30. I think it came from Hungary?

You should be ashamed of yourself!

I think you can find leather covers.

I had been looking for years and finally scored one at a VW swap meet. It was in a box of misc. interior parts. The leather was gone and the chrome ring dull. Bought one of the Hungarian covers and had the ring rechromed.

Keep looking. They're out there!

Thanks,

I want one too. I looked a little bit during Hershey past couple of years, but without success. I'll keep looking.

400.00?!?!?!

Holy cow! At those prices, I may have to sell it!

nice picture, wayne. thats what i'm looking for! i guess i'll keep on looking.

I continue to look for the elusive horn button. Anyone got one of these at a good price? My steering wheel is naked without one.

We've got a coupe of boxes of 912 parts, I'll take a look tomorrow.

These have been coming on eBay a bit more frequently lately. Additionally the prices have come down a bit as well...I know MittelMotor is making a replica that Martin Baker has been involved with...so it has to be pretty good.

Here is a link to one that sold recently, looks nice at a reasonable price...have to keep your eye on eBay, they are there.

Let me know for sure. Thanks!



That's a nice one! I'll be interested to hear about the replica one too. I'd settle for a replica.

That ebay one sold for less than I've seen them go for. Most are over $300 now thanks to the early 911 guys.

The MittelMotor replica is around 260 Euros. I've seen pictures of it and it isn't 100%. There is another company that is going to make them that (from what I've seen) will be 100%. As soon as I'm allowed to say anything I will.

Sorry gang, no luck. A bunch of other cool 912 stuff, but no horn button.

I have a very nice one but I would not sell it cheap. I would just assume keep it because someday I may want to install a GT steering wheel in my M471.

...i'm jealous

maybe you would want to sell me your M471 including that horn button

Gustl,
I love ya like a brother from a different mother.

Sorry but over US$ 200 is not quite in the reasonable range for me. I must be a cheapskate (sp?)

Michel

Very nice replica of these are now for sale on Early911Sregistry...$250 shipped.

I am certainly in for one.

Jeffery's wheels and hockey puck are 100% correct. He has fantastic stuff.

I would have to take your word on that, as I have never seen any of his stuff. But, if it is as good as you say it is...this has to be a great deal!

Peter

I've got that horn button in my car, too. =o) I've been keeping it for about 18 years, since I bought my first 914. It's my 'lucky steering wheel center'. Even when I sold my first car to Kevin because of rust issues, I kept the center horn. I like it!

I have one of his wheels. I'll post some pictures of it this weekend. It is crazy close to the original. From any markings or stamps down to the rivets on the hub. Even the sticthing is correct. Jeffery is a perfectionist.
