I'm not sure what look you're after but there is a guy on E-bodies.org selling really cool aluminum horn caps.

Hard to tell from your photo...either an early 70-71 or the later 70's cap. There are two soft caps that I am aware of.....you almost need to have them side by side to see the differences.

There are two kinds and both are correct depending on year and model. The one on pic and the one full plastic, which is my 74 got and the one being reppoped

Long time ago I thought the one with the metallic base and soft pad was to 71/72 SEs. Somebody told it was for all 71/72s, however Chargers 72 assembled in Venezuela got as far I can tell the tuff wheel with hard plastic piece like my 74. I can't find a reason in USA 72 wasn't the same, and the soft padded was for SEs ?

Then on later years ( 75 and on ) the soft padded horn buttom made a come back but colored keyed like the tuff wheel itself also colored, but baseball seam kind
