Pic of original horn button

Anyone have a good clear pic of the original horn button on your M715 you could post or link to? Was the "Jeep" name or logo on it?

Thanks

Stan

Was it just a blank plate originally then? I found a few pics in the members gallery and most of the ones that show a horn button look like what came on the civilian versions although a couple looked like blank plates.

They do look like the civvy ones and say Jeep. However there is a "delete" plate cover thing that goes over and makes it look blank.

mine is a green flat plate that clis into a horn button surround

Mine is same as Lee's.

Lee, others: Mine is for sure the original wheel, has the Jeep logo.

the original wheel will fit the jeep horn cover. the cover that was originally put on them was plain green. like this pic shows

Mine is plain green

OK, that helps. Mine's going to say "Jeep" on it but I wanted to verify the logo style before I create it. I don't have the original wheel anyway so it's not like I need to have it stay original.

Thanks

They arrived in Vietnam with a painted plate over the Jeep logo. We popped the plate off or scraped the paint away so the Jeep logo could be seen. Something to do while you sat in the truck waiting for someone to finish their shopping at the PX, etc.

I've got a pic - who wants it? e-mail?

I got it from Sam Winers - it is original. Actually picked up a couple - with plastic "delete" covers. Apparently, some of the logo covers are painted with the red, white and blue, others were just left plain. I have one of each.

The covers were painted on the inside, too.

hmmm I wonder if it was different for ambulances, like those AM715's... There is no evidence of any cover ever being on there.

It's a snap-on plastic cap. Verry low $$ deal, it may have been damaged and discarded.

I'll have Jon post that pic in my gallery. Just the logo cap, not the cap-cap.

There are a couple different things here....first the cap that is under the cap cover...
I have seen at least 3 different styles of these....in the first pic, thanks to Bump, you can see the one with the Jeep name on it. I have seen a couple different colr schemes for this, mostly red/white/blue, but others like mostly white too. In the 2nd pic, you see, on the left, the one that came on my truck stock and on the right, one I found in a scrapyard...basically a blank of the one Bump sent.

Also here is the cap cover in clear...my OD one broke many years ago and I thought about painting this one to replace it...but now I have a Grant steering wheel that it wont fit.

It helps, thanks. I have a Grant wheel on mine now too. I'm going to make my own horn button insert on the computer so I can pretty much do whatever I want to with it but it will have "Jeep" on it when I'm done. What I've come up with looks a lot like the OD horn button in the 2nd pic, only it will say "Jeep" in the center just like the first button pic shows.

Overall I like the Grant wheel, but does anyone else that has one of them think the engineering on the horn button system is pretty bad? Those who have them will know the horn button is supposed to "snap" over a phenolic disc and it doesn't take to many install attempts to chew that disc up to the point where the horn button wants to pop off. Mine's OK now but that design sure is lame, IMHO.

Thanks

Stan

I havent had a problem with the horn button on mine...course I put it on and havent taken it off so....I guess I better leave it alone now!!
