stoddards.com or sierramadrecollection.com would be a start for both, but once you’ve identified exactly what it is you want, those items can often be found at less expensive prices at sites elsewhere (I bought my horn button on eBay for about $75.-, for example, and as far as I can tell it is the exact 82mm version that Stoddard’s sells for $179.00).
Good luck!
ISP West has all but the PORSCHE crest for $129 -

@Geezer - Please tell me what you find out. I had been looking also. Man, they are expensive, FOR A HORN BUTTON.
Hey thanks for all the help also still trying to figure out what kind of a boss kit or adapter I need for the wheel it is a 2017 vintage speedster anybody know?
Could you share what us what’s on the car now?
knowing what you have will help us make recomendations on what you may need.
Vintage speedsters, when Kirk owned the company, used to source the banjo boss kit and wheel fro ISP West.

To purchase the right kit, you will need to know what steering shaft is on the car. The 60-74 is the most common... but there are three possible shaft which could have been used. pre 60, yr-74 1/2, and post 74 1/2.
- 25mm diameter course spline on 1949 to 59 cars. (24 splines)
- 21mm diameter fine spline on 1960 to 74 1/2 cars with 27mm nut. ( 40 splines)
- 18mm diameter fine spline on 1974 1/2 on cars with 24mm nut. (40 splines small)
Pictured below:
- Right is a ‘60-74 1/2
- left is post 1974 1/2.
My vintage speedster is a 2017 and was supposed to have been one of the last ones that Kirk built it presently has the wooden wheel on it which is 14 inch diameter will a 15 1/2 inch empi wheel be too big ?
Depends on how large in size you are. I prefer a 14" wheel over the original 15.5". The Banjo wheels are inherently a little flimsy too in the larger size (they can be tighten somewhat by moving the "fretts").
For the info I was kind of worried about that !
There is another thread on here right now about the headlight switch, that should help you.
Hey thanks!
