1969 Sport wheel broken horn bar retainer clips

So I have seen a few horn bar mounting tabs under the center cap, broken on these 69 sport wheels.
I had a wheel that all 3 were broken on, so After a few ideas and mock ups, we came up this clip that works like a charm.

These have been laser cut for perfect consistency, and a 2 piece die was made to form them accurately. Made of good gauge metal ( forgot the actual gauge, but not lightweight crap ). Will also be painted aluminum color to match the horn bar.
These are available for $30.00 shipped for a set of 3, shipped to a US address.
Paypal friends / family only. Or postal money order.
May also fit 68 style wheels, but have not been tested as I do not have a 68 wheel to check them on.
Please PM if interested.
***Will provide the first person to respond a free set of 3, in exchange for the promise to leave appropriate feedback on these.

Nice gesture. I'm considering these. My wheel doesn't have this issue- YET. But as with most things like this, if I don't do something now, later on when I need them it'll be the old story of "a guy named Tim on the classic olds site used to sell these. Too bad he retired from doing all that junk 5 years ago" and you can't get them anymore.

As they say, necessity is the mother of invention. I'm sure this fix will be helpful for many folks. Nice work Tim.

I received a set today. There are no broken parts on my wheel but I bought these as a “just in case”. While I have no use for them at the moment I wanted to say they are made of great quality and will definitely be a great fix if in need. Nice work Tim! Greg.

Sport wheel clips

I got a set of these and they work and fit perfectly to secure the horn button with a previously broken spoke mount. Horn cap fit perfectly over them. Great solution for a previously hard to fix issue….highly recommended……thanks
