Thanks TJ …. Sent you a PM … was able to get one locally. I did find out that the same horn ring was used into the 50’s steering wheels. Flathead 47

Thanks TJ … will get it apart and get a better look

Petehoovie, thanks for the enlarged pictures. TJ, I wasn’t sure if the whole inner assembly had to be replaced as an assembly or if only the broken outer ring was available and then revited back on to the inner assembly.

Finally was able to get the horn ring off, but part of the assembly is damaged. Wondering if the broken ring can be replaced or do I have to get a whole new assembly. Also it looks like the nut on the steering shaft is wrong , what is the would be the correct nut to use.

Thanks Deuce and 47 , that gives a good picture of what needs to be done to get it off. I think I have one side off and the melted felt is holding the other side from allowing the ring to be fully lifted out. Flathead47

I am having the issue getting the horn ring off my steering wheel as well. It looks like the felt as Kube states has melted and is creating the problem. Does anyone have a picture of what the is underneath when the ring/button assembly is off the wheel so I get a better feel how to move forward...

farmertom, what is the width of these rims? What tire pressure are you running? What is the tire side bulge like with these rims. Thanks

The 6.00-16 tires need replacement. Looking at diamondbacks auburns. Will be going with big and little look. What are some of the combos you are using. Rims are stock. I am thinking 5.50R-16 or 6.00R-16 on the front and 6.50R-16 or 7.00R-16 on the rear. Pictures if you have , pro’s or con’s...

I would be concerned about the bumper hitch that it would put a lot of strain on it. Those trailers are light even loaded and bounce a lot behind our cars. I watched a friends mullins bounce off the road many times , with the roads we drive on , he had a hitch attached to his frame. I guess it...

There is one other option instead of the hogs head & that is the one year only 1951 mercury bell that has the stock cross shaft & throw out fork. You need the same year starter plate. A simple flat adaptor plate is made to attach the bell & T5 together

Thanks for all the great info on this setup. Is a picture available to show the final result.
