Got a aftermarket wheel in the 80's. Was able to find in the 90's a replacement horn button. Now and then I think I've found a unicorn supply but alas, no. Gave up a couple years ago and have been watching the aftermarket horn button producers. I think I found something. I'll paint it with krinkle paint, maybe lazier etching before. Not the same look but looks like it is going to fit right. I have one coming and I'll let you know how it goes. The back size is 2.99213 inches

The base of this horn button with a little sanding will fit into the tube between the steering wheel and the factory column. So if I cut the top off the button housing I think I can end up with this:

Let us know how this works out. I have a formuling wheel with an old 80s button that I wouldn’t mind updating. stirthepot.gif

I may have to put this on. Even the radius is right. The car gets one of these on the rear. Opinions?

Well, no body said that sucks. So I think I will do that, it mostly keeps the black with a touch of candy.

Easy peasy. My hands hurt like a mofo, but that is normal. A pic is worth a 1000 words, well there is 7000 for you. If you have a question please ask.

My wheel is silver and smooth with black leather rap. But I like what you’ve done with this one! agree.gif beerchug.gif

Looks great. I noticed that they sell that model in a few different finishes. My avatar likes it too. beerchug.gif
