Another steering wheel thread
Can anyone identify the wheel on the right in my first picture?
The second pic shows the horn button with what I think is the original wheel from my '89 IROC.
The third pic shows that same horn on the other wheel. It won't sit straight on this wheel.
The wheel on the right is in good enough condition I was going to use it and order a new horn, but I'm guess it would fit crooked as well.

Re: Another steering wheel thread
The wheel on the right is from the firebird, came in several different years and trims someone can probably correct me, but its a base firebird/formula (87) wheel from 84?-87, and a trans am wheel from 84-85?

Re: Another steering wheel thread
Ok, that sounds reasonable.
I thought maybe Firebird, but it had this Camaro horn on it (not the same one pictured above), It sits straight as you can see but I'd like to get one in better condition.
So... maybe if I look for a replacement in the mid 80's timeframe?
EDIT: well maybe not. I'm starting to think someone made this horn by combining a Firebird & Camaro horn.

Re: Another steering wheel thread
New camaro horn (buttons) are available from classic industries, maybe hawks and also on ebay. Get ready to pay $70 or so, but why put a camaro button on a FB wheel. The FB horn buttons looks much better on it.

Take a look at my first picture. My IROC wheel is in pretty bad shape.
