keiser31 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Whatever it is looks to be mid-thirties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpage Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Did just the cover come off the button or did the entire button come out of the wheel? This looks similar to a mid-thirties Chrysler product part(probably an aftermarket part) ,if so the cover presses on over the bakelight button and is secured by 4 small tabs. The tabs may be missing and the cover just popped off. If the whole button came out,the lock ring tabs that secure the contact plate in the button are probably broken allowing the button retainer plate to pull out. Perhaps more photos would help!
