Title: EH horn button to FC wheel Post by: mickusmickus on May 01, 2004, 01:10:06 AM Hi Guys
was just wondering if anyone knew if an EH horn button fitted the standard FC wheel. They look far better than the FC one and I have the chance to buy one in very good condition. thanks MICK Title: Re: EH horn button to FC wheel Post by: RET on May 02, 2004, 01:57:40 AM They what?
Ignoring the question of taste, take yours off and line up the backs of them and see whether they are the same diameter or not. I suspect they probably are, but the position of the locating lug might be different (I know FB/EK ones have it at the opposite end to the FE/FC one). However nice the EH one is, being flat I don't think it will look quite right, if only because the original ones follow the curve of the horn-ring itself. Your car tho, not mine, so you should do whatever you want. cheers RET Title: Re: EH horn button to FC wheel Post by: mickusmickus on May 02, 2004, 03:31:58 AM The EH horn button isnt flat it is a similar shape to the fc one.
MICK Title: Re: EH horn button to FC wheel Post by: RET on May 02, 2004, 04:01:01 AM Ahhh no, actually it isn't. An FB/EK one is the same shape as FE/FC. It has the Holden lion, with the southern cross around it, with either a green or blue stars and a black background:

They fit, but upside down. You have to file the locating lug off to make it fit on an FE/FC horn ring. A good condition FE/FC one is still nicer (see attached image) Hope that helps, RET Title: Re: EH horn button to FC wheel Post by: ACE on May 02, 2004, 06:42:38 AM As RET said it sounds like a FB-EK horn button.
A EH horn button is smaller in diameter than a FC one and looks best on a EH or EJ. ;) Regards ACE 8) Title: Re: EH horn button to FC wheel Post by: mickusmickus on May 04, 2004, 04:59:34 AM Sorry guys big mistake you are all right as usual thanks for the help anyway.
