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.

wow. i only have a horn "ring" and a green cap. no wheel looking think. do i need that???? mine seems to work fine without it
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.Quote:

Mine's OK now but that design sure is lame, IMHO.
Thanks

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!!
