I have a formula style steering wheel with the wings down bird horn button, I do not remember where I got it from, I thought the bird was a decal on the inside of the plastic center button, and that the decal was deteriorating, after I pulled the center out I found it is an emblem behind the plastic, there is a gooey black adhesive that has ran down and covered the bird, anyone know anything about this horn button and how or who can repair it, it looked great for about three years, 1 1/2 actually in the car, thanks so much I will try attaching pictures.

Looks like that's an aftermarket steering wheel/horn button.

Pretty sure it was not offered like that from the factory.

Nice car, BTW!

Thanks Dr.
I am going to clean up the goo glue off of it and maybe try some weather strip adhesive, should withstand the heat and hold the acrylic in place

I bought a couple of those off a guy who used to sell them on eBay, but he has since passed away. He also used to sell them to Firebird central which is why I believe they are not available anymore.
A member (wwblue69) here sells some I believe that might fit.
He says the 1.375 fits inside the formula steering wheel horn cap
Here is the link to his stuff he is selling https://firstgenfirebird.org/forums...t-gen-wings-down-emblems.html#Post324491
Here is his contact info: steele.pontiac@gmail.com. or cell is 567-259-8510 His name is nick

It was offered from the factory like that for the later year production T/A's but I do not believe it was available for the Firebird 400 as an option.
