This 1965-1966 Mustang Standard with Alternator 3-spoke horn ring is an excellent concours correct C5ZZ-13A805-B reproduction for a proper fit. Die cast construction that features premium show quality chrome plating with painted "Ford Mustang" Lettering and a acrylic center emblem.
Special Note: First to reproduce the 1964½ - 1966 Mustang horn rings in the mid 80’s California Pony Cars research and development uncovered a flaw in many, but not all of the original Mustang horn rings.
We found that some of the 1965-1966 Standard with alternator 3-spoke horn rings had one, if not all, of the spokes that curved outward and away from the steering wheel excessively. That is to say that the space between the horn ring spoke and the recess on the steering wheel was excessive. These horn rings didn’t look good and if the spoke was depressed until it bottomed out on the steering wheel, it would crack the horn ring index.
A good die maker would look at this condition and could determine that this was caused by the part sticking in one side of the die causing the part to bend and distort as the die was opening and the part was ejected.
So when California Pony Cars reverse engineered this part and the die to make it, we made the spokes straight to fit the factory steering wheel, and California Pony Cars 3-spoke horn rings are a perfect fit.
Other manufacturers, when reverse engineering the part, seem to have copied a bent and distorted original and fit an original wheel poorly.
Check all other horn rings on the market and you will see for yourself. What does a perfect part mean to your restoration?
