    a few days ago and it looks great. Steve and his team sure did an outstanding job. Well worth the wait and the price. Thanks, Steve.

    That's sharp - new piece or re-worked old?

    Hi Tom, I just finished emailing you a photo. I didn't know you had posted this on HAMB.
    Yes, you will be pleased. I had to take the horn button apart and re-index it so that the "F" would sit straight when installed. After you get your wheel, be sure and ask for a touch up bottle of paint. I requested one, but no luck. Maybe if enough folks ask, Steve will make it available.
    Take care, Jim

    Very nice and true they aren't inexpensive but you do look at them and handle them every time and all the time that you are driving the car.

    Hi Jim , I'm working on the touch up paint , I'm glad you all like the wheel it has been a long process but I'm pleased with the result , the indexing of the logo is exactly the same as the original by the way :).
    If you think it's expensive you should be on my end !! the R&D alone was & is insane on a project like this, I tried to cover all the permutations of horn operation on different columns too.I'm not complaining though we ain't in this to get rich .
    Thanks again for the positive reviews.

    I need the (rubber?) between the horn and wheel. Is that available?

    If possible please post a photo or a pictorial of the rubber part. I would like to see it as I didn't know of it. Thanks, JIM

    Mine is missing and without it the horn honks at all times. There has to be an insulator between the horn ring and the wheel but I dont have one. I've tried making a couple but havent gotten satisfactory results. I would appreciate any info on this., One guy said to use the Dennis Carpenter one and cut to fit

    manyoldcars, Your website photo didn't appear. Also, please do me the favor of posting a photos of what the top of the steering column where the steering wheel fits, including the horn button contact. I am wondering if it's the same as the 1940 Ford steering column aside from the "keyed" 1940 column.. I bought the "keyway" version of the Limeworks wheel and it fit fine. I also realize your Ford may require the splined version. To make a short story shorter, what I really would like to see is a pictorial assembly drawing or photo of how your stock Crestliner and horn button are assembled with all the correct parts.
