    Building a AV8 and using a F1 Steering box /column/wheel. CG has some nice repop wheel horn caps.
    I'm just thought I would ask if any one has tried to use the Model A horn ****on for running light and head light on a FI 46 -52 wheel ....

    I saw an add on Ford barn where he takes an F1 or F100 and completely rebuilds the box and adds the light switch and horn to work like an A.

    I found information using google to do what you are asking. It wasn't hard. I used an F100 column and I am using the original Model A steering wheel and light switch/horn ****on. Just have to make sure to get the length right when welding the top half of the Model A shaft to the F1 shaft.

    I guess I originally misread your question. I used the Model A wheel. Mostly because I had a nice one. I imagine it would not be hard to do what you are asking. Just a few extra things to consider.

    I'm running a F1 box with a piece of an earlier keyed shaft grafted o it to accept the '39 banjo steering wheel I'm running. I was wondering how to get the horn to work in the wheel in this situation as well.
