RIVNIK Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Greetings! Recently acquired an original steering wheel & hornbar for my '65. What I didn't get was what the shop manual calls the "contact cartridge assembly". This is attached to the wheel & creates the connection to the contact plate on the shaft when the hornbar is actuated. Can anyone provide me with one of these parts? Greatly appreciated, Rivnik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIVNIK Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 This is a stock wheel, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seafoam65 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 standard wheel or deluxe wood wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIVNIK Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 Standard wheel. I did find an entire hornbar assembly on eBay which includes the contact cartridge. Unfortunately I will have to purchase the whole shebang to acquire the thing. I am hoping someone has one in their proverbial box-o-parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 What became of the wheel in your '65 before acquiring this newer one? Wouldn't it have the needed parts in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIVNIK Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 It was cracked so badly I tossed it in the trash about 15 yrs ago without regard to the part I now need. I replaced it with a Grant wheel which looks like a three spoked version of the Riv wood wheel. The Grant wheel is fatter and smaller in diameter than the original wheel, which I thought improved drivability. It also had it's own type of center-hub horn actuator, so I didn't think to save the old parts. Not long ago I got a little nostalgic for the old feel so after a long search I located an original, meticulously restored, and only after installing it did I realize something was missing.
