Did see that but looking for one in better condition without the pitting

They did two types, chrome and a sort of satin finish. I'm looking for the chrome version.

There's a nos one on eBay but it's a bit pricey

Thanks anyway

Ron, is it worth getting the satin one and having it chromed? Or at least the chrome effect stuff they use on plastic? Ive only ever seen one chrome horn ring and that was in my old '66. Most of the horn push Wolfsburg badges I've seen are satin on the back too, again my '66 had a chrome one and I've got a cracked one in chrome in my car at the moment.

Hi Neil

Thanks for the thoughts but it's a one year only part as the mounting holes are different to the later ones. They are out there but may have to spend the £ to get the right one  :-\

Regards Ron

I didn't know that! Have you tried asking Rich Oakley? He's an old mate of mine from many years ago and he's a proper vintage buffer - he might know of one?
