A couple of Pics showing the thickness of the piece Paul made.

Close up of the center of the wheel and new piece. WOW.

 

Wow, that's nice!!

You guys have got to quit coming up with these things!!

 

Fantastic! Soo many ideas it's hard to not want to do all of them. This is one that I'm gonna save till after the build. You know, something you don't have to pull the body off or pull the motor.

 

Now you can see why its taking me so long.

 

Very nice job! I want one!

 

Frank, what's the diameter of the plastic horn button? Mine says "Momo" on it and I would like to change it out, if the Grant one would fit. John

 

J, I'll measure it tonight when I get home. You may want to go to Grant's website. Maybe they have the size listed. Frank

 

Interested

I, for one, would be interested in one of these. What kind of price are you all thinking?

 

I would buy that....any pricing ideas?

 

hmmm nice work.

 

Really nice!...does it actually work as your horn switch? I would be interested too!...Pricing?

 

Paul and I have been bouncing ideas back and forth. Machining and material I would guess near $250. Pricey. But I really wanted it to look OEM. In instances where you weren't using the Probe turn signal unit, Paul and I figure a piece of coiled microphone cable will work. winding and unwinding as the steering wheel is turned. Prostock drag cars use this same type of cable for line lock and parachutes on their steering wheels. Frank

 

Stupid question. How you gonna wire it withouut a hollow column?

 

Lex, Its pretty easy. I am not going on the inside of the steering shaft. If you look at the back of the FFR hub, it's bigger on the back than the shaft. The wire will feed down a hole drilled in the hub and fasten to the shaft to the Probe canceling unit. I'll post more pics. when I get that far. Only have the wheel assembled for now. Once the dash is installed it will be clearer. Frank

 

I have also done a horn in the center of the wheel, it works but it is not nearly as simple. Mine cost me $200 (to get the machining)(done. (if it is any help) Mine uses the stock FFR hub, center section and decal.

 

Guys,thanks for the kind words.
Kudos to Frank for coming up with the Idea in the first place.

I made my horn button using the Grant's Billet horn button that I got from Summit Racing, that with a little elbow grease and I have really nice horn button that only cost me around $35.00 total. Picture isn't the best but gives you a good idea.

Lile. We looked at that exact method. I was just a little worried about adding more holes in the steering wheel. and the way it lays out it looked like one or more holes would overlay the ones already in the wheel. Yours came out great. Frank

 

if you want a horn button in the middle of your steering wheel, look at finishlineaccessories.com or europaspares.com Both have cobra logo horn button bosses. Thing is, i think they both sell them for 9 bolt steering wheels. I may be wrong, but check them both out. europaspares has them in aluminum (shinny) and Finishline has them in the black boss style seen on AC cars today.

 

Frank, if you are careful the holes don't overlap any of the others at all. All I did was drill the holes deep enough so I could tap them and run the screws in. I woud explain the rest of the install but it's not that easy to explain, I can maybe draw a picture of the install and post it on here so others can see howt's done.

Very nice work. Looks great. You guys never cease to amaze me. I have to do another build that's all there is to it...
