Will an 850 steering wheel fit a 124?

Post by pikehk »

I am on the search for a stock steering wheel, that isn't cracked, and a horn button that isn't faded. I found one but they said it is from an 850. Will it still fit a 71 124?

Have a wheel from a 79 sans horn button.

If it will fit and looks mint I am interested, but I believe yours is the one with allen heads and won't work. A non faded horn button is hard to come by it seems.

I’m on the same quest. I’ve found my uncracked steering wheel and greatly improved my button. But still searching for that amazing button too. Hope we both find them soon.

I did a quick cross check on Midwest and looks like the same horn button was used on 850 and 124. And here was what I saw with the steering wheel.

Allen heads it is.
I refurbished our faded button by photo printing the correct emblem and then casting a thin coat of casting plastic over it and glueing it on the center.
