Starliner Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 My plastics are dry brittle so I need them! Please let me know. Massachusetts. Thanks, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1986F150Six Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Contact Jonathan: Ford F834, via email. In the past, he has had numerous horn pads and steering wheel components. He brought some to the truck show in Skiatook 2 years ago. He is very reasonable and trust worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford F834 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I have horn pads, but most are from Econoline vans and have the oak looking woodgrain and black edges. I bought them for possible hydro dip or for switch parts. The 80-84 rosewood type is difficult to find in good shape. I may have one or two but I remember them to be pretty rough. I will try to have a look through my parts later and message you some pictures to see if there is anything that could help you. Edit: thank you David for pointing me to this thread and kind introduction 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need every brittle plastic including that piece it all snaps into. The rubber is fine. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just need the plastics. I'm sure 190 bucks is what the wheels are worth complete, but that is too rich for me right now. Thanks very much for the link.

The little trumpet icons on the horn bar suggest this came from an econoline van. The little vertical wear marks at the ends of the buttons may have come from a lace-on steering wheel cover? Nice find 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The outside pieces need glue, and I am hoping maybe I can revive the dry plastics by submerging them in a bunch of armor all. Maybe it will work. I have nothing to loose. The wheel itself it great, as is the center rubber. Just a DYI, super glue, mixed with baking soda makes an amazing high-build glue. There are YouTube vids on it. If anyone has a better idea to remedy the brittleness of the plastics, please let me know. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incorrect woodgrain pattern, but less expensive [still comes with a steering wheel]. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1980-86-OEM-F-Series-Bronco-STEERING-WHEEL-WOOD-GRAIN-CRUSE-CONTROL-HORN-PAD/274287685973?epid=1425041210&hash=item3fdcd1f155:g:72oAAOSwyq5eVtZ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the steering wheel plastics for 20 bucks locally. The guy is selling me a guage cluster and dash pad for 50. Only the speaker area is messed up on it and mine is a mess. Now on the guage, I bought it just for the Tach. But it is out of a diesel so the tach is likely much different. I will attach a picture. My question is, is the range the same on the gas models? Obviously the red line zone would be wrong but that's not a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
