need a rim blow horn switch - 02/17/09 02:06 PM
we have a 71 gtx, no horn, guess its the switch??. are they available??, how hard/easy are they to install?? , or is there someone in the ny/nj/pa area that does this type of repair.. any idea of cost??
the wheel is just about perfect, its just the horn does not work

http://www.shakerhood.com (Ben Snobar) sells excellent reproductions
Moparts member stwheels does a fantastic job restoring wheels - perhaps he can chime in with some install tips for you

The Ford switches have a raised rib on the surface of the rubber, the Chrysler ones are smooth.
IIRC Ben is having both styles made and the Chrysler ones are excellent.
He also has the little grey wires that connect to the steering hub as well
those things are pricey too
