Yes ~ sorry, I should have mentioned ~ it is the SNGB one ~ excuse the dust on it.

For what it's worth I found the quality of the horn push to be very good.

Yes, that looks fine, doesn't it? Is that the SNGB one?

Thanks for the confirmation, too, Rob.

I picked one up at Stoneleigh a couple of years ago brand new but not sure if it was NOS or a reproduction but it was not cracked as mine was and there was no difference in the quality.

Orlando. For what it's worth I found the quality of the horn push to be very good. Somebody else might have a better close up.

Glad we were able to help.

I was also looking for a plastic horn cover for the original steering wheel as mine is cracked. Those on Ebay seem to suffer from the same issue so I was delighted to find that new replacement parts are still available (though listed under Jaguar 420, which is — I thought — an even rarer car).

What is the quality like on the replacement horn push C22272? Have you fitted it yet? Are you able to post an image or two? Mine is also cracked.

good that you found the parts new.

it's the same steering wheel all through MK-2, MK-X, S type, 420 and 420G.

Thanks very much for all of the help and advice. It was particularly helpful being directed to find exactly what was needed on Ebay — though the fitting is going to be another matter altogether!

Interestingly ~ There are 2 different crash roll sizes that were used on the parcel shelf that I've been unable to date. There is a shallow offset centre wood piece & a deeper offset.

The chrome end capping I indicate in this picture comes in two sizes. My car has the larger deeper capping of the two.

Those Knobs are swaged onto the cable. They wont just fall off. Cable was supplied as a unit as below. There is a clamping nipple swaged onto the other end of the cable. You cannot extract the inner from outer cable without cutting it. This makes re-chroming the knobs a challenge. You have to seal the entire outer cable in a plastic pipe with silicon with only the knob protruding to be able to re-chrome the knob.
