Horn ring for 68 Fury ..... will this work?

[Steve-o]

So the horn ring on my 68 Fury III is broken. I might be able to repair it but then again maybe not. So first pic is my car.
Second pic is a replacement on ebay.
Third pic is kinda cool and looks like it would work....question is...will it?

MOPAR 1967 DODGE PLYMOUTH HORN RING 67 MONACO POLARA FURY PN-2823667

Not worried about the Ralph Nader horn button. I'll get something else if need be.

Thanks in advance!

There is a pre Jan '68 with the nice chrome and translucent center cap, post Jan '68 is the padded button he refers to as a nader cap.

Here are some and I'll add more in the next couple of days as I get things done.
New here, just got a 68 Fury III...lots to learn

 

[xxcarguy]

Nice.
How long have you had it?

Nice.

Little more than 2 months...so far it's a lot of fun to learn new stuff.

So here's an update. Two of the 3 screws on the back of the horn ring that hold it to the contact pad were completely stripped. Zero threads. Steering wheel threads are ok.
Just so happens a 4mm tap fits right in the stripped hole and makes nice clean threads. I've got tons of metric hardware so why not?

So now that's fixed I decided to paint the 2 strips on the sides of the horn button black and found this (66-67?) horn button on eBay for a pretty cheap. I kinda like it. The Ralph Nader button can suck it. I kept it of course. Never throw away original stuff that's good.

They switched to the padded horn center in January 1968 to meet new crash standards. So any’68 manufactured prior to January has the metal clear ring. My Aug 67 built ‘68 Polara has the metal ring.

This is exactly why I call it the Ralph Nader button. Thanks for the info...so the chrome ring in the above pics will fit?

 

[HWYCRZR]

I am pretty sure. They both have tabs on the bottom. Twist the old one off and twist the new one on.

So for those of you following along at home......
The horn button works but the horn ring doesn't. So if anyone needs that chrome fancy style horn ring I have a really nice one for sale now.

I was able to fix the original matte aluminum one.
