I bought a fat man steering wheel with a horn button in center similar to model A horn button. Can't get it to make contact (close the circuit on two wires coming out of it). No brand found. Any one have experience or knowledge of one like this. Will attempt to post picture later.

Hi Dave, Welcome to the Model T world. It's great fun and as you have seen many good folks will join in to give you help. The Kansas City Chuggers is the local Model T club and we affiliate with the MTFCA and the MTFCI. We of course are not meeting because of the virus, but you can visit our website...

WTB any foot throttle parts. Missed that really nice foot pad yesterday. Have no parts at this time so anything considered. New Langs does not list and I understand what the had in past was on back order.

Having added a KC Warford, my friends say I will be able to shift better with a foot throttle. I've read the older discussions and guess I'll have to make one as the new 2019 Lang's catalog no longer lists the kit. On a post in May, 2018 Dan Hatch indicated he might have some left over parts.
