The replacement horn buttons look pretty correct, the colors are not dead
on, otherwise they look pretty good. But the new buttons do not fit very
well. I have had to remove some plastic from the underside of the horn
button to get it to fit into the steering wheel hub correctly on my 1972
TR6.
As for the NOS thing, well some of us (like me) just enjoy collecting NOS
parts. Collecting and hoarding NOS parts is almost more fun, and definitely
more expensive, than owning a British car itself.
