Another horn ring that breaks very easy is the 61-63. Over the
years, I've probably broken 4-5 of these. If you look under the pad, you'll
likely see a crack developing along the area where the 2 lower attaching screws
are.

Subject: Re: IML: '56 Imperial horn
ring
Tony;
My suggestion would be to take the horn ring to
a chrome shop and see what
they can do about repairing it. These horn
rings, which were also used on
the Chryslers, seem to be prone to breaking,
almost like a design defect.
Almost every 1956 Chrysler or Imperial that I
have seen for sale seems to
have this broken. Ironically the older style
horn ring, like what is used on
my car, seem to be almost indestructable as
junk yard cars and derelects
often have them intact. This, and the fact
that they were used for four or
fives years straight, seems to make the
1951- 54 type quite pletiful in
comparison.
Getting into the issue
of reproducing parts it would be a smart business
move if someone could
come up with a way to reproduce the 55/56 rings as
there would be a fairly
decent demand for such a product. Maybe that outfit
that Kenyon found in
India could make them out of brass, who knows? Of
course someone in the
Walter P. Chrysler club might already be making them
as even Windsors
suffer from the same affliction.
Good Luck
