Well, I finally got a hold of the wheel I wanted so badly for the car! (Thanks to Ebay) I've always loved the look of the 4 spoke sport wheels, and I lost one at a swap meet last summer for some extra cash for a wing and my exhaust. That's a story I don't think some would believe, but I'm sure I'll tell it sometime. Lol! Anyway, I'm very excited to install the wheel. But, as luck would have it, it doesn't look like a horn button is included. It does come with a hub, though! My question is: how "interchangeable" are horn buttons for this wheel? Ebay lists all kinds of different buttons, but is the original one the only kind that will work with it? Some of 'em run kind of high... and after paying a little more than what I wanted to for the wheel, I don't want to drop a ton on just a button.
Thanks in advance! I'll be sure to upload pics after it's installed.

All the snap-on buttons that look like this one will interchange. Did you get the horn contact bushing, spring, and retainer?

I'm not sure. From the pictures, it doesn't seem like it. Would you know a place I could get these parts?

These same parts are used on Camaros, so they pretty much fall from the sky. Dorman even sells them now. Under $4 at Summit.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the wheel didn't include any of that. Thanks for the help, guys! Luckily I live pretty close to a Summit.

Would either of these work for a horn button? They have the same 3 places to clip onto the wheel. Finding a button has proven to be a hard task...

Those won't work.

Darn. Alright, thanks!

The only button that fits is the 1970-77 Sport Wheel button, which is the picture I posted above. The three place clip on the newer buttons will NOT fit. The correct button has a circular feature on the back that snaps into the circular horn ring that bolts to the center of the wheel. There are a couple of these on ebay currently, and they show up frequently. Note that the Chevy and Buick buttons of the same vintage also work, and the center with the Olds logo can be swapped (repros of the center are available).

Okay, I will continue to search. I picked up the parts you mentioned above, as well!
