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 |

This is a real early 911 horn button on my 6. To get it to look like this, you need the good leather and some padding behind it. Fully restored on chrome and plastic by PMB

I thought mine was a little narrow but I looks like there is a visible edge on the wheel under the puck. |

It’s doing the same thing as a batwing and moving a bit to make contact for the horn to work |
