The last 2 weeks are a whirl wind 🌬 of excitement and new stuff all about
I have successfully Reproduced the 27700-60100 3-wires green plug voltage regulator using
Genuine NipponDenso Japan parts , minus the actual color coded tracer stripes
Wires I source right here in America
I personally hand assemble each one in-house at the Skunk Laboratory here …
So she’s back and staying back as long as I’m still kicking

Are there supposed to be any other parts in the steering wheel besides the horn buttons? Mine have no springiness?

Took a road trip to pick up a set of soft top bows and top. Turns out the bows are Paki and I think the top is an OCD. It's pretty faded but it's going to go perfect with the original patina of my 40.

To be klear in my opinion you have scored a very very well HAND made with Pride reproduction parts cache from the artisans in the Great Country of Pakistan. !
They pioneered the whole parts topic you are exploring there
I can read between the TEq lines and say if you take the time to hand make by hand a ‘ made in Pakistan punching dies and actually take the time to TAG your daily work like that …..
Then it’s the best possible work as a Artist and Trades Craftsman’s you can offer up !
Simple as that ..
I personally TAG % of my Kustom and Reproduction work in one way. Shape or form
Some of you may be aware of This or have observed it maybe
I won’t give away my Skunk-Works 411 too much here …,
But all pull switches I either restore or offer up NoS I use JiS Yellow electrical Tape on the rear pigtail Stand off Bracket detail …
This is both my trademark , signature and well hand made pride TAG
Just like the hand die stamps on the above Pakistan produced reproduction parts
You have scored a unicorn
there @CondeCruiser know that
In my opinion
If it’s needs some age and time wear buttoning up as it indeed may
It’s worth the time and investment of resources …
Good show my friend

I don’t get it Matt. Your diagram doesn’t show a connection to the radiator. I believe it hooks on the left hose, but that wouldn’t allow for “air in” like you labeled it.
i did not make the entire diagram , my NEW In-HOUSE FULL Time Padawan and SHOP Apprentice did , it appears there is much to learn still for the young -skillset..,. !
Need more photos of this thing!
Some NOS blanks incoming from over the holidays
You need to give it a good soaking with FabricGuard.

Thanks for the link. I just sat down to order some 303. Good stuff! I just scrubbed with some APC and got the mildew smell out of it.
It's been a while since I worked on my steering wheel. If my memory serves me correctly, I believe the (corroded) metal tab in the picture above is what provides the springiness for the horn buttons.
Finished up the two side panels. Sanded, glazing compound used to fix some dings and low spots, then primed.
Had time b/tw primer coats and various steps to get some reorganizing done in the shop, and to do some electrical work to install new shop lights.

Just bolting on more shiny parts on the ‘71 from Mr. T:
Need to go after leaking brake booster and new brake master next.
