Title: Need "Tiny top hat" part for horn wire.
Post by: Bill Atlanta on February 19, 2020, 11:13:46 AM
need a part for a 1955 Cadillac. It is in the steering head for the horn. Looks like a tiny top hat that has a wire that goes down through the steering column. Don't need the wire, just the "Tiny top hat". Thanks

With a small lathe, I could do those parts for my own vehicles, they are easy to fabricate, but I have no stock and let David to make them!

You may be able to do with a brass eyelet or grommet (both terms commonly used), just need to match the barrel OD.  McMaster Carr, leather craft shops, and upholstery shops could be sources.
