    I am looking for some photos of where the horn switch is mounted on the 65 GT350? Post 'em if you got 'em.

    Thanks!

    One of these is real and one of them is a stinking fake. The threaded ring that tightens the switch to the dash is not a ring with tiny teeth .. it has two indents (opposite sides)
    good luck,

    So this would probably be the correct switch:

    the switch is called a "moment" switch not a SPST or DPST
    GOOD LUCK,

    Hi,
    I have pictures of one of the original types of 65 horn switches
    and the bezel with two nothes in it but don't know how to post them.

    Nope your looking for a center-off moment switch. So when it's not touched the knob is straight out from the switch and once operated returns to the center when not touched

    Hi,
    That's the $500 question. Original switches are very difficult
    to find. I bought mine for 5S275 in Hemmings many years ago.
    Randy DeLisio who restored Dee Snider's 69 BOSS302 had one
    that was broken, i.e. it didn't work but cosmetically it was in
    excellent shape. I was abe to take it apart and fix the broken plastic
    internally with a sleeve and now it works as it's supposed to.
    Here are two pictures showing an original 65 switch and bezel

    Thanks for the info. Since my 65 is a re-creation, I'm not too finicky about accuracy. I'll pick up a switch, from Jim at ShelbyParts.com
