I was browsing through some IM pictures and noticed examples of IM horn buttons on a few cars. Also saw a horn button used as a badge. Unlikely but wondering if one of these buttons might be available.

There are a number of different styles used on replicas. Some are generic buttons from the maker of the steering wheel, like Momo and others, some are from the older VW days like the Celestial button (stars and zodiacs, that sort of thing), and there’s one called the “Golden Lady” kind of like a celestial Statue of Liberty. All of those are at several of the VW parts sites.
Then, there are a few different examples of Porsche horn buttons that vary in size over the years and are either at Stoddard’s or Sierra Madre Porsche Parts or Pelican Parts and one of the members on here was making a high quality example, too, so you can search for that on here.
I’m Irish so I just have a button with a Celtic Knot. Simple, but different and up to the owner’s individual taste.
Here is a better image of an IM horn button. I am interested in an IM button.

Oh!
In that case, go onto Facebook and do a search for Henry Reisner or Reisner Carrozzeria in Vancouver
or look here: https://www.facebook.com/photo...;set=a.3340408061600
Henry WAS/IS Intermeccanica and may still have some spare parts kicking around. I’m sorry that I don’t have a recent email address and don’t trust the one I have. Maybe someone else has more current contact info.
That's the horn button that I have in my IM6. It's possible Henry may have one hanging around in whatever parts he has left over.
I was trying to avoid asking Henry since I have already taken up too much of his time. Guess I need to impose further. Hey has been incredibly generous with his time.

Not sure who got the content of the IM garage, or where the employees went.

I’m really, really hoping Henry got the contents and Robert found a job at the new business.

I would think and hope so he had two key guys that I really enjoyed working with who, for obvious reasons will remain nameless.
