Horn push

Post by win »

A gentleman from S Africa has contacted our branch.
He is looking for a steering wheel centre with a bull motif on it, is in our area for one week more.
I have never seen one only an M.
Can anyone help.
Kind regards Win

I guess he wants one of these, although it is rather pricey IMO: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186905205714 ... R8zxy5SKZg

Just to avoid any misunderstanding, the items shown in the photos above are steering wheel centre bosses. They are not horn pushes. They have no switch mechanism/contacts to operate a horn. The models that had this centre boss (around '55 '56) had the horn switch on the indicator stalk.

The OP did not mention a horn push but 'steering wheel centre with a bull motif on it.' It was used between October 1956 and March 1959 btw.
