Thanks for the photos and info, I was completely missing those 2 rubber/foam insulator rings! On my way to the store now. Thanks again!

Hi, Can anyone please tell me what I’m doing wrong here……? I now have the wiring correct but I can’t seem to get the horn ring and steering wheel center cap on. I don’t want to force it on yet there’s a gap of about 1/4” from the mounted steering wheel to the cap. If I force it then when I turn the power on the horn will go on by itself which makes for a not too pleasant ride.

The 2 parts that are new which were missing are the 6 fingered spider disk and the brass cap that holds the hot electrical tip in place. The blue tape in the pictures is to hold the spring in place.

Thanks for any help to get my ‘39 Super Eight tooting away. I was told it’s the same setup as a late ‘30’s to early ‘40’s 120/160.

It’s been a few years for me also but I believe there was a ring of foam that went inside the spring?

Hi, my ‘39 Super had some parts missing from the steering wheel hub assembly. I have just installed a new steering box so I have the wire going through the shaft to the steering wheel. I’m missing in the hub assembly a metal button that’s soldered to the end of the wire and an insulation donut ring. I do have the brass spider and of course the stainless horn ring. Does anyone know where I can get the insulation donut ring, or something that could substitute and what are the steps for the correct location of the parts. My parts book doesn’t have a diagram to show the placement of the parts.

Thanks!

Looks like mold on the fur and steering wheel?

Those finned heads are just so beautiful!

Thank you, and he just notified me he sent it.

Has anyone had a problem with Mike at Tucson Packard? I sent payment for an item a month ago. For the last 3 weeks I’ve been asking for the status (tracking number) and get answers such as I’ll look it up tomorrow - or I’ll send it to you soon. As of now I’m still waiting for any info from him. Last resort is trying to get my money back, which I never had to do before, but I really prefer the item. Never thought it would take so long.
