1968 Chevrolet Corvair (with Tele Wheel) NORS Horn Ring Bushing #3739140 / #760082 / #764762

Available for sale is a New Old Replacement Stock (NORS) Horn Ring Bushing, replacing GM part numbers 3739140, 760082, and 764762, designed for 1968 Chevrolet Corvair models equipped with the optional Tele Wheel steering wheel. This vintage replacement component is an excellent choice for restorers seeking to restore proper horn ring operation and maintain the original functionality of their factory steering wheel assembly.

The Chevrolet Corvair remains one of the most unique vehicles ever produced by General Motors. Featuring its innovative rear-engine, air-cooled design, the Corvair offered engineering unlike any other American production car of its era. By 1968, Corvair production had evolved into its final generation, featuring refined styling, improved suspension design, and a more sophisticated driving experience. Today, these late-model Corvairs are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.

Vehicles equipped with the optional Tele Wheel steering wheel featured a distinctive sport-oriented design that enhanced both appearance and driver comfort. The horn ring assembly is a prominent feature of the Tele Wheel and contributes significantly to the steering wheel’s overall appearance and functionality.

The horn ring bushing is a small but essential component located within the horn ring assembly. It helps support and properly position the horn ring while allowing smooth movement when pressure is applied to activate the horn. Properly functioning bushings ensure consistent horn operation, maintain correct alignment, and reduce excessive movement or rattling within the assembly.

Over time, original bushings can become worn, cracked, compressed, brittle, or deteriorated due to age, environmental exposure, and repeated use. When this occurs, the horn ring may become loose, difficult to operate, misaligned, or fail to function correctly. Replacing worn bushings is often a necessary part of steering wheel restoration.

This NORS replacement part was manufactured as a period service replacement and closely replicates the fit and function of the original GM component. Unlike many modern reproduction parts, NORS components were produced during the era when these vehicles were still actively maintained, making them especially desirable among restorers seeking authentic restoration materials.

Restoring a Tele Wheel steering wheel requires attention to detail, and even small components such as horn ring bushings can significantly affect the quality of the finished restoration. Proper horn ring support helps preserve the original feel and operation of the steering wheel while contributing to overall driving enjoyment.

Collectors and restoration professionals understand the importance of maintaining factory-correct steering wheel components. Small details often distinguish an average restoration from an exceptional one, particularly on rare and highly collectible vehicles such as late-model Corvairs.

As original steering wheel hardware becomes increasingly difficult to locate, vintage NORS replacement parts continue to grow in demand. Whether you’re restoring a show-quality vehicle, maintaining an original survivor, or rebuilding a steering wheel assembly, this horn ring bushing provides an excellent period-correct solution.
