Im trying to find steering wheel parts for my boss for his 79 corvette. He brought the car to me with the steering wheel off and parts in the floor. There was a plastic piece I think to do with the horn that was brittle and it busted. Can you give me any info to where I might find these parts? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Since you furnished no photo it's difficult to know for sure what you are looking for. Click the link below and browse thru the list of parts that appear and see if you recognize anything. Many Corvette vendors will have these parts. Willcox, Davies, Eckler's, Zips, many many choices.

If it's a tilt/telle, you need this part. They always break.
