Looking for a Series I Steering Wheel Hub

[toysrrus]

/bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/blush.gif Hi There Jag Lovers;

I typ. am on the Triumph Forum as I own a `66 TR4A-IRS: I`ve had Several E-Type Roadsters in the Past; `62 (2yrs ago)-VIN 875190 (Sold on Ebay to a Gent in Rome, What a Jerk I was)! `67 Series I & `69 Series II / 1st Jag was a `57XK140Rdstr (Garage Find): There`s "NOTHING" like driving an "E-TYPE" in My Opinion!!!!!!!

Anyways; I`ll get another one in the next Yr. or Two; Please keep that in mind for any of you future Sellers; No Series III accepted/No Trailer Queens/Must be Exc. Driver Cond/Preferably Series I/Must be Roadster:

I currently have a Great Orig. Steering Wheel(My Motivation)that I`m going to hang on My Family Room Wall, below My Hert. Cert for that 875190, but I don`t have the Horn Button: Who out there would be willing to Donate or Sell Me One? Cond. is not a Factor:

Thanx in Advance;

Russ

try Moss Motors for the correct Hub and maybe a horn button if not the horn-push kit, and also fleaBay. hard to get nice horn buttons with Jaguar mottifs nowadays, since Ford served notice to everyone to stop replicating Jaguar emblems, whether "Growler", "Leaper", or early "Wings" logos. In my opinion, it seems that Jaguar Cars was undecided as to what logo to use, my '65 has all three logos or mottifs: the Leaper on the hood, the Growler on the steering wheel horn-push, and the Wings on the reverse lamp and related literature and owners manuals.

Hi There Exotexs;

"Moss" is NG: They offer Very Little in the Lines of an E-Type: I`m going to check various other sources plus https://www.jaglovers.org: Between the BCF etc etc; I would think someone out there has a "Horn Button" for a Series I, 1.5 or 2:

Thanx for the reply;

Regards, Russ

Russ, I bought my hub ("boss") kit and horn-push kit from Moss, and at the time most of their hubs were for E-type, and I was looking for a kit for a 3.8'S' type which supposedly they didn't have!! I ordered the one for the MK-II and it fits perfectly. Have you tried calling them? I think some of these companies don't know what fits what.

Another option, check with LeCarra in Tennessee, they also have hub kits for E-type. Actually, all steering wheel manufacturers have hub kits for E-type, MOMO included.

...NOT SURE HOW IT COMPARES PRICE WISE TO XKS..

 

[Exotexs]

no way, way too high for a horn-push only. go to XK's instead, for that kind of money you get the aluminum Hub or "boss" as well.

Hi There Exotexs: Wow; $126.00 for the Horn Button; There`s "No Way"!!

I believe I may have mis-lead you folks: The Only thing I`m looking for is the "Illusive, N/A Horn Button"! Hub is not needed:

I guess I just keep looking or simply go out and "Buy Myself another E-Type"! What do folks think??

Have a Super Pleasant Sunday;

Nothing better to go with an original horn button!!!

 

[Exotexs]

I didn't register it was the horn button only you were after, then I guess an original goes for whatever you're willing to pay!
