The one horn pad is hard plastic and the other is slightly fatter and padded. Restoring a car to look "only" as good as the factory made it is like getting a boob job for your wife and having the doctor make them two different sizes to seem more natural

Quote: padded - 71 only maybe a early 72 plastic - 72 and up Hi, That is probably correct but only up to a certain year. I have a few non-black Tuff wheels, i.e. red, blue and tan, that have a padded centre in the matching colour. Mike.
