I decided to treat the old Lincoln to a new steering wheel. I found a replica 1960's Mustang wheel from GT Performance. It's a lot better quality than the Grant stuff and has CNC machined hubs and horn button assemblies. I did have to wait a week after finding out I needed a horn assembly spacer ring to move the button out by 1/2" to avoid the internal wire terminals hitting the end of the steering shaft under the horn button. The alternative is grinding off the end and I did not want to do that.

So here is how it turned out. The wheel is the same 15" diameter as the original rimblow wheel. The added bonus is that all three horns now work in harmony. The old wheel seemed to have certain sections of the wheel that would play certain individual horns on the car. Weird, I know.
