50desotocoupe Posted August 25, 2014 Report Posted August 25, 2014 My steering wheel on my 50 Desoto was literally down to the metal hoop when I bought it so I found a 1950 steering wheel from a Plymouth. I have the wheel and center cap but it was missing everything else. Does someone possibly have pictures on how to attach everything? I have the wire but was hoping for to see what else I need to find to make it work. Thanks!! Quote
50desotocoupe Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Posted August 26, 2014 I have the wheel on the car now and tightened down with no problems. Except for the lack of horn button..hahahahah Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 Borrowed from an eBay ad..........horn part for center of wheel............ Do you have access to a parts manual that will show the horn activating parts? Quote
50desotocoupe Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Posted August 26, 2014 No, that is what I was hoping to get was the parts manual picture showing what I needed. Is the part above part of what I need?Thanks! Quote
50desotocoupe Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Posted August 26, 2014 Ahh, this is perfect, thank you! Exactly what I need!!!! Quote
50desotocoupe Posted September 9, 2014 Author Report Posted September 9, 2014 I have another question for the experts who have a '50 Plymouth wheel like what is pictured on the top half of the attached. I found the contact cup and nut insulator on ebay. So now I have all the parts to assemble. My horn wire has a nipple on the end of the wire. Does the nipple fit into the bottom of the nut insulator? If I am looking at it correctly the horn button spring assembly presses down on the nut insulator which then contacts the contact cup? Thanks! Quote
50desotocoupe Posted September 9, 2014 Author Report Posted September 9, 2014 Oh wait, I think I may have ordered the wrong part. I think I need the insulator that has a "slit" up the side? Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Posted September 10, 2014 Does your steering wheel have the large horn ring, or just the small center cap? They appear to have similar but different components inside. Quote
50desotocoupe Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Posted September 10, 2014 It has just the small center cap. I found a nut insulator with a "slice" out of the side of it yesterday on *bay. I think the original one I ordered was the wrong one. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Posted September 10, 2014 Hopefully it will work. This stuff gets kinda confusing sometimes. Quote
