Ross horn button

[Robert Cassin]

Hi all, Would the Ross horn Button be correct for the Half tracks and Scout cars?  Thanks, Rob

no

there where 3 types used that I know of

the solid plastic black wheels used a button with the white logo.

the metal spoked wheels used a solid plain button or a rubber covering type button.

 Ross possibly in the fifties as part of a re-build but I doubt it.
 I have examples of White, Autocar and Diamond T medallions in the cap center.
 Does anyone have a International Harvester Cap?

Guys, the horn parts are the same as used in old semi trucks, forklifts, and pickup trucks. So all the medallions were all made at one time, but with the military dead set against logos on military vehicles I doubt any of them were originally installed on ht's. Ross definitely would not have been used on a vehicle from the factory as they were the steering gear manufacturer.

Hey Guys,
I have two m2a1 halftracks with the Ross logo on the steering wheels. I also have 20 of these horn button kits that are marked G-102 but are all dated from 1954-58. So I am sure you are correct when saying they would have been only used during rebuilds.

Hi

and for halftrack Autocar with the solid plastic black wheels used a button with the "Autocar logo" ?!.

Could a horn cap with the Ross symbol be copied and 3-D printed?  Might be an option to make a run of blank repro caps.

All the horn button parts but the logo piece are still available new last time I checked.
