Thanks Motech, I really appreciate your kind words!I don't have anything period correct, but I do have one or two Ford badged horn covers from retro steering wheel kits for a '68 and a '73 Mustang I tarted up for a customer a few years back. I will have to dig them out, and not sure where to start as my shop has moved since then and much of that stuff is somewhere inside two separate storage units.
I do know this though: These retro kits were produced by Grant, and the horn buttons are the same style as your more common aftermarket Grant steering wheels. The only real difference is the wheel stylings and Blue Oval badging. (I have these left over because customer chose the pony emblem buttons included in the kits)
Let me know if that common Grant style button for sure will not work and I'll not go hunting. But if it will or might, it's on, and if you want, I'm happy to gift them to a man who's skills and knowledge amaze me week after week.
Even if he is of the land "of hoary nights, where lonely men struggle to keep their fires lit and their cabins warm"
I have a couple leads up here, I have a friend who owns a really big salvage yard up here and he has had some luck. (Waiting on delivery, as always)
Thanks for the offer, but lets hold off for now.
Did my maiden voyage in the lightning resto mod last night. (It felt a bit how I would imagine the early mercury missions felt, Exiting and scary)
It drove very well and performed admirably (for a Beta test.) Now I have fiddlybits to deal with.
Exh tone, the rest of the weatherstrips, harness tidying....ect.
I didnt want to go too far without proof of concept.
Concept proved!
The wheel is way down the list now!
Cheers
