Thread: 1939 banjo on a 32 ford

Tweet

Ok here what i have.
A stock 39 ford banjo wheel and a stock horn button. (no rod on the button)
How and i get the horn buton to stay on the stock wheel with out the rod?
Anyone do this?
I have a juienos (sorry about the spelling) button but i like the stock one better.
littel help here for a newbe

I shortened the original light switch rod and then squeezed it with pliers to egg shape it in a couple of places until the rod would stick in the shaft. When you get it right, you can push it into the shaft and it will stay put until you pull it out. It's strictly decoration but it didn't rattle and could be easily removed if you had to pull the wheel.

With care you can transplant the rod from another button, even a damaged one from a different year. I usually reinforce the connection with some kind of epoxy. You might be able to use 5/16" fuel line.



This is my 39 wheel using a 36 button on the 32 rod. (I kept the stock H/L switch and the aftermarket accessory horn ring still blows the horn)
