Recalled 77 horn button & lock ring (Read 346 times)

chuckster Full Member Offline 77 DARK RED/BUCKSKIN - 04 SPIRAL GRAY/GRAY Posts: 68 Tallmadge,Ohio Gender:	Recalled 77 horn button & lock ring Jul 29^th, 2010 at 11:02pm I know the recalled 77 horn buttons are rare but I was wondering how many of you have the lock rings or have seen cars with them. Here is a pic of mine I just put on my 77. Had a hard time finding the lock ring.

The ring is the toughest thing to come across. I managed the ring and several horn buttons over on the bay this past winter..........jack
