Tomcat Posted August 31, 2019 Share #1 Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) Hi, I'm trying my hand at restoring a steering wheel and can't determine the function of this metal ring. It is a little rusty but I can't seem to remove it (that woild be nice) but if it doesnt matter I will leave it as is. --Thomas Edited August 31, 2019 by Tomcat Add pictures.

cgsheen1 Posted August 31, 2019 Share #4 Posted August 31, 2019 It holds the padded horn "button" in place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted September 1, 2019 Share #5 Posted September 1, 2019 it's actually a spring. Like CG said it fits into a groove in the horn pad to keep it on the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) Completely disolved the ring. I see the kits around $60 on-line. If you have a used one for less please let me know. Edited November 19, 2019 by Tomcat Found replacement on-line but expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grannyknot Posted November 19, 2019 Share #8 Posted November 19, 2019 Did you use EvapoRust or some kind of acid? In any case you need a new one, I'll have a look through my stuff, I might have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat Posted December 14, 2019 Author Share #9 Posted December 14, 2019 Sorry for the slow reply. Yes, "Krud Kutter". Either it was mostly rust or I let it set too long. grannyknot, let me know if you have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
