1977 Original Horn Button
I was fishing around and found what appears to be the recall information for the 1977 horn button which contains the following statement:
DEALER WILL REPLACE THE CAP AND LEVER WITH PARTS PAINTED TO MATCH THE INTERIOR TRIM COLOR AT NO COST TO OWNER.
My car has a born on date prior to the date on the recall, so it’s reasonable to think that my car had the recalled horn button. My question is, were the horn buttons that were removed to comply with the recall simply painted and placed back into circulation? If so, could one bead blast the existing horn button to return it to original condition?

Just the telescopic locking ring, yours just received a nice polished finish to match the cap. The same locking ring was used from 1968-1982 on T&T columns.
