Horn button

Hello all I need some help. Does anyone have a horn button for a 3 spoke sport wheel? I have a wheel and can not find anything anywhere. No stock on any reproductions from Dennis carpenter. Name your price and shipping to Ontario Canada. Thanks

In all of my searching it seems that Dennis carpenter is the only one that produced these and supplied various aftermarket vendors. I only found one black and silver one in stock
https://www.npdlink.com/product/cove...0000%26year%3D
In their Florida warehouse.
No other vendor has any. Dennis carpenter has no restock date. And number dummy says there is no N. O. S units anywhere.
Good luck

Thank you sir. Did not want a silver one but a silver one is better than not having one. Bought it. Can always get a black one later or trade it. Thanks again.

Brent,

I am trying to restore the same wheel (and coincidentally, my name's Brent). The grip on mine is torn up. It looks like you put a new grip yours. If you don't mind my asking, what did you use?

Brent

Did you read this description carefully? The part number listed is D8BZ-13A805-C not D8TZ-13A805-A

This is for a 1978/81 Fairmont/Zephyr & 1979/82 Mustang. These cars use a different 3 spoke sport steering wheel than the other 1977/79 cars, 1978/79 F100/350, Bronco & Econoline.

So, if it doesn't fit, whose fault is it?

Hello.. Brent. The grip I used is an old "classic" steering wheel wrap sourced off ebay

Number dummy. The aftermarket button listed at national is correct. It does have the horn wiring. It was confirmed by them. And is the same as the one they list for the truck but for some unknown reason has a different #.

And the other supplier listed "cj's", "cg's", "Sexton" offroad, lmc, and Dennis carpenter all have no stock.

I just got one from eBay from someone that had it listed for an 80's mustang. It was the black/silver version. I transfered the horn contacts into the one in my pic (also from a mustang) that did not have horn contacts.

Hope this helps someone...
Brent

Brent,

Thanks for the tip. Yours looks nice so I'm going to try the same thing. I was kind of blown away because when I was searching the wheel type and how to restore it, I found another Brent doing the same thing the same day. Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket. Here is what I'm starting with. I may do the horn button eventually, but this has enough issues to keep be busy for a while and its not even mounted straight. I bought my 78 F150 in March and I have a lot to do.

Thanks again!

Brent

Brent.. Looks like it needs a little attention. Nice truck I bet 351m 4spd? Mine is a 351m auto. The Ontario winters are taking a toll on mine. By your interior pic it looks to be the same color as mine.

This was last summer.. Looks good from afar lol

Brent,

Your truck's a beauty. I love that two tone! It is close to this one. This has the 400m. I bought it in March from a guy in southern Colorado. I'm north of Denver, so I towed it here.

I will post my wheel restoration. I really like the way yours looks, so I am getting a black cover that looks pretty similar.

Brent
