Hi all y'all,
I am getting tired of having my horn go off at inopportune moments because I have nudged the butterfly on the steering wheel by mistake. Ahh, a smooth sharp left turn with great savor faire an... blaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh, dammit. So I want to be a cool kid and have a puck button. But not at that price! (insert eye watering emoji) And of course I make everything myself anyway. So could someone give me the OD and ID and height in and out? I can work it out from there. Might go with aluminum but also might go with ebony or rosewood from scraps that I have. Thanks so much. If necessary, I can bring calipers to RRC, but online would be better. That way I won't lose the scrap of paper I have them written on. I know that there is a 3D printer file but I don't think that I could unravel it to get the measurements. Thanks so much. Warren |

I had to make up my dimensions on that file anyway. I have been meaning to go back and massage it a little, try to replicate some of the details like the ring etc... Is that decreasing diameter linear or just in a portion of the puck?
That said, I no longer accidently hit my horn. And I can see my dash better, although the fog lights button is a little bright. |

If you can get me the base OD and the inner ID that would be grand. The depth of the hole would help a lot too. Thanks folks for all the great help this time and lots of others. |

You can get a lot of the dimensions from your batwing. |

[/quote] Nice work! Looks like 914 Rubber isn’t offering that part anymore. That is what I am aiming to make. Thanks. |
