Joe Flanagan Posted August 31, 2014 Report Posted August 31, 2014 I'm looking for a horn ring for my 49 Special Deluxe and I notice on ebay that two different kinds are available. There is one that is a full circle and one that is a half circle. The original on my car was missing when I got it, so I don't know which one it had. I know it's an obscure question, but I'm hoping someone out there might know which is correct. Quote

Johnny S Posted August 31, 2014 Report Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Joe ... if you don't get one before I get back to my "stash" .... I have one. And it's the "full" version !! Edited August 31, 2014 by Johnny S Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Seriously? A field modification? No such thing as an original half-horn ring? Thanks, John. I'll let you know if I find one or not. Edited August 31, 2014 by Joe Flanagan Quote

Joe I wouldn't consider myself an expert on 49s but p15s and 51-52s have a plain horn button on the cheapy models and a full circle ring on the higher end ones. For p15s I've seen a few where someone did a good job removing the top 1/2 but you could stilll tell it was done. Quote
DJ194950 Posted August 31, 2014 Report Posted August 31, 2014 My looking at parts books for 49 says the same as YoungEd, no ring at all on deluxe (button only) and a full ring for special deluxe = steer wheel and all horn parts are diff. between the models.The top inside edge of your wheel should have have 8 holes (per bad pic.) and a deluxe about four. Rest of steer wheel appears the same per same lousy pic.! Happy hunting, good luck. Doug Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Posted August 31, 2014 Thank you everyone. I found one on ebay. Quote
