chris piazza Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 Pretty much the whole enchilada, Bob. I only have a steering wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studerex Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Chis Tom Shrock made them but labeled them as 35. I bought all the molds from the Shrocks but have not found that mold yet. Many many molds. I know I did not get the metal logo molds. If I find the patterns I will make some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris piazza Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 Yup, that's the wheel center and horn button group I'm looking for. Thanks Rex. You photo also tells me that the little knobs I have in a baggie in a box are for a radio! Neat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Rohrbach Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Did you ever find the steering wheel parts you need? I may have them if I can figure out how it comes off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris piazza Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 Thanks for your reply,George. No, still looking. Maybe someone can can share the "how to" on this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37S2de Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 A long time ago Ford Stoecker told me that the ring around the horn button unscrews. I tried for years to remove the ring with finger pressure and had been unsuccessful, even at one point wrapping masking tape with the sticky side out around my fingers. Today, after reading Chris’ post, I tried again with thumb pressure. There must have been some tape residue on the ring because it actually moved a little before it stopped and I couldn’t get another grip. I then got an old bearing race that was big enough to go around the horn button. I cut a ring of double-sided sticky-tape material that was designed to install floor tiles and put that on the bearing race. The tape material is kind of cushion-y and I figured I could get an all-round friction grip on the outer horn ring. And I could get a good grip on the bearing race. It worked like a charm. As you can see, the threads are pretty fine. I’m glad I didn’t break the ring and I’m hoping I can get it back on without cross-threading it.

George Rohrbach Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Thanks Tom, I will give it a try next week. My1935 Dictator parts car, has been moved from my place to storage. This was moved to make room for my 1929 Erskine, right hand drive, so that I can get it ready to take to Hershey in the Fall, FOR SALE. Chris, I will let you know next week, after removing, without damage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris piazza Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 WOW! Thanks guys! At the very least I now have photos of what I'm looking for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Rohrbach Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) I do have what you need, but have not been able to get my parts car horn apart. I tried Tom's trick, but all I had was the type of two sided tape for hanging pictures and stuff. The tape adhesive broke free, before the insert budged. I will see if I can get the type of tape recommended, and try again. I Edited May 5, 2021 by George Rohrbach (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8E45E Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 George, Good to hear from you! I wasn't sure if you were still active supplying pre-war Studebaker parts or not. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37S2de Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 George If you’d like, I can send you some of this material. I suspect that you’d have to buy a monster sized roll of the stuff if you went out to buy it Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Rohrbach Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I finally received the special tape from Tom. First batch got lost in the mail. I will try to get to the storage where the 1935 Dictator parts car is, in the next couple of days. I still have hopes to get the button off.
