Trying To Find A Part
Hey all, I'm not sure if I'm in the right section for this, and I'm sure the powers that be will move it to the appropriate section if it isn't.
I'm in search for a horn button for my '61 Ski Boat. I know that is a '58 Chrysler wheel and horn button, but I have had no luck on Ebay or local.
Here are some pictures:
Thanks for looking folks!

Chrysler Wheel
If this is a Chrysler wheel try looking in Hemmings Motor News for the part or a supplier. Thre's lots of vintage car support in Hemmings. Too bad their boat support is so minimal.

chrysler wheel?
Are you sure that is a chrysler wheel and not a Ford?
Yah, It's even listed on my build sheet as a Chrysler wheel. I had a buddy of mine who is big into Mid - Late 50's, early 60's Mopars and he was positive that it was a 56' Dodge Custom or Lancer.
So I have been on the search. I will call Mr. Lahti in the am, when I'm not at work. Fingers crossed!

Tyson: For my 1959 Sea Skiff I had to track down my steering wheel, also. I did a search on "Google" for steering wheel restoration firms. Many of them have pictures with descriptions of their work. I found that my steering wheel and horn ring were from a 1951 - 1954 Chrysler New Yorker, Windsor and Newport. The horn button was from a 1955 and 1956 Plymouth.
I then saved a search on eBay for those items and over a few months several popped up. Also, Al Schinnerer in California posted all the Mopar parts numbers on Boat Buzz. I now have a complete extra set of everything.
