I'd like to see some pics of transbrake buttons mounted on factory steering wheels if any of you have done this. I have the factory E body 3 spoke wheel, but would like to see any ideas from any car really. I'm not sure if I want to drill a hole through it (would really rather not do that) or make some sort of bracket to place the button just above the spoke. Drilling a hole and placing the button through a spoke would look the cleanest I think.

You know I didn't even think about it being that many turns lock to lock...the only car I've personally driven w/ a brake button on the wheel has a much faster steering ratio. Thanks for bringing that up DVW! I'd hate to have drilled my wheel and then find that out...I get in a hurry like that, lol.
Maybe I'll look at mounting it on the column or dash somewhere it's easy to reach. I'd rather leave the horn button functioning as is for now...
