Subject: Re: Steering Wheel Restoration by CorvetteArchives on 2011/2/8 3:09:10 Once the wheel gets squishy I dont think a wheelskin will solve the problem since the mush gets worse with time and heat.  The 86-up thicker wheel will work with a stock 84-85 horn button assembly. I have a reproduction wheel and you'd never know the difference. I bought mine at a car show and was only $125. So if you shop around you could find one cheap :-) Since this is the Restoration section and one might have NCRS in mind: 84-85 steering wheels were thinner than 86-up. Another is that 84-85 have different horn buttons. OEM has a horn stamped on the leather. They also actuate differently so they have a different appearance. 86-up fit flush with the wheel so they have different mechanism where leather depresses but 84-85 are raised and the whole horn button moves. |
