When I purchased my 67 8 years ago it came with a Mountney wooden steering wheel installed & the stock steering wheel in a box of parts... allthough the wooden wheel is nice I personally enjoy keeping things stock aside form reliability/safety improvements...
anyways I recently repaired my stock wheel & discovered the horn push hub & horn push in a bag of parts, missing was the spring & horn push badge...
still trying to figure out which option for the missing spring, sure I will be able to bastardize something for that... but I did find an ebay seller with the correct horn push badge, just received in the mail yesterday, it looks great, appears very nice.
Just thought I would share if anyone else is looking as you can't get from usual suspects...

On my '69 Sprite, the horn is on the turn signal stalk, not the center. Was that unique to the Sprite, or was the "turn signal horn" added to both the Midget and the Sprite between '67 and '69?
 
Started in '68 and '69 they couldn't figure out the horn push and the collapse able column for a few years.
 
Does anyone know if the horn push badge is just friction fit or glues into the horn push ? Seems like it will friction fit in there but I don't want to snap it in & then find out I was supposed to glue, I thought I read before not to glue as it can react with the badge & wreck the emblem...
 
It has been many years since I had my '67, but it seems to me it was either a friction fit or push in and twist a bit. It was definitely not glued in. Great car, btw, wish I still had it.
