tudor,no i dont have the trim ring that works the horn,send me an email i am interested in it,at johngibsoni@aol.com,how much do you want for it ,do have the whole steering wheel?
wow your cc is beautiful,i wish our interior would have been good,its alot of work to make it all.
i have new/old horns that still work,but the air canister doesnt pump up and hold air,so we bought an electric air horn,and will fit it the air compressor to the horns.
