Decided to pull the trigger on this project after some kind prior owner thought it was a great idea to yank off all my leather off my stock airbag wheel.
Thanks to other forum members and their kindness/advice I can't recall at this time in their assistance in this project.
Took less than 20 bucks in tools from harbor freight, took a total of 2 hours to do and YES the horn works.
Unfortunately yes the wheel is some sort of horrible knockoff of a nardi but I got it cheap and for now it works fine.
