Well I can see what you have for sure.. but I need to see what is under the steering wheel.
The hub is what I need to see... The steering wheel is wrong.. the horn button is wrong. I can compile you a list of parts but without the correct hub it would be useless.

I hope these help.......RATS! PHOTOBUCKET IS SUPERSIZING EVERYTHING! It takes about 30 seconds for the pics to "normalize"!

The only parts that I have ever bought from Willcox that haven't worked out were the Nylon rivets that hold the horn assembly together. They now sell an assembly and I would recommend buying that over individual parts.

Okay.. you got some issues..
That hub isn't correct either.
To make this right, you'll need the hub, steering wheel, upper contact, contact and I'll have to look to see if anything else..
But the hub may be the issue, I'll have to check on this and post back.

I may have a hub.. I'll have to check on Monday. There currently is not a reproduction 68 standard column hub available, but I think I may have one.
Aside form that you'll need a steering wheel too. The bad news is that the 68 steering wheel was different too. The 69 to 75 wheel was different on the bottom. The other bad news is that Freeman Designs, who made the most awesome teak wheel, is no longer going to be making them. We just talked with Eric last week.. he's bailing out on the teak wheel business. (I hope he changes his mind).
aside from that..
You'll need (but I'd wait till you find the hub and wheel).

Thanks for the info......
That explains why the contact/spring kit that I received from you dropped into the hub-hole and went "out of sight".
I will place an order tonight for the screw set and the contact ring.
Will I need the horn-button contact-spring also? I will wait for your reply before clicking the "BUY" button.
As for a Teak wheel----it would double my original investment.....(because I am working on a "rescue-car", I am sticking to a "budget").
As for the '68 hub...I have a suggestion which I will send to your customer service.
