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

alright, thanks everyone. Guess I'm not going to find a new Camaro horn for a Firebird wheel!
