Horn button gasket

[72tutone]

Does any of our vendors sell these? GMCPauls or anyone? I'm looking for the gasket that wedges underneath horn button and the factory wheel.

Thanks

I'm thinking you mean the horn button retainer. There is no gasket. A little more information would help as to what year of truck. '67 & '68 are the only two years that used the rubber horn cap retainer. The '69-'72 horn cap had the retainer clips built in to the cap.

Here is the rubber retainer for the '67 & '68.

I have a 72. Underneath the center horn is a black gasket foam that is like a cushion or gasket. It's from fitting as well.

Never seen one. I guess I can't say it isn't stock. I wonder if someone put it in there to keep the button from rattling.... How about posting a picture of it.

Thanks. I will have to look at the ones I have to see if any of them have that. If a guy had some thin foam sheet it shouldn't be to hard to make. I have never see one in any of the parts catalogs.

My thinking as well lockdoc.

Might just buy some foam and trace it out.

I checked the six I have and none of them have a gasket/seal on them of any kind. It looks like some of the retaining tabs are broken on your cap so I bet someone added it to keep it tight or from rattling.

Wow. All six??? Quite the collection . I'll take your word that none of them came with this

Thank you sir!

I've been wondering about these gaskets as to whether or not these are OEM. I believe LMC has these listed, I know I purchased an aftermarket example several years ago. Here's one that was in place when I removed the steering wheel from a blazer I'm currently restoring: it's basically a survivor truck that wasn't altered save for a repaint and set of headers.

[72tutone]

Ahhh.. Yep thats the one! I havent found that in the LMC catalogue. I will check their site
But as you said, I wonder if this was factory. I will also check in the build install pdf from the factory to see if anything is in there.

Sure enough. Page 692 seal-horn button cap CA-KA105 Granted that is for a 69 wheel. I didnt find anything on the 70-72 models in the book. But it looks like they were in there at one point in time

[DeadheadNM]

Huh - just to clarify, the GM assembly manual shows a horn button gasket?

No kidding? I bought my '69 new and do not recall it ever having one of those. My memory isn't perfect, but I'd think that would ring a bell with me.

Only $1.95 at LMC.

Take it back to the dealer and demand one!

My 72 k1500 doesn't have one and it too is unmolested.

My 72 didn't have one. Interesting.

[DeadheadNM]

Not present on the wheel I removed and kept from a 40k mile 72 Fremont built Super dually RV.

Great idea!!! Oops, they're out of business. I already demanded they replace the front bumper. Maybe that's what did them in.
