Your cap is not HQ specific it's the badge version as used on GTS, SL/R, SS and HQ Sandman. If it had the Sandman logo I'd agree it's probably HQ.Originally Posted by RodneyHZ253
The blank version cap was typical for later Sandmans until it was replaced with the UC Sunturd version on the HZ.
It has the sandman centre cap it has just faded and the steering wheel very worn as well.

Oh OK, I couldn't see any evidence of the Sandman logo in the pictures. You should replace it with a repro or go all custom and have the HX-Z logo added.
Why?
Ditto
it shows up okay when you look at it for real and we want to keep it as an original sandman steering wheel

I missed one of these on Ebay the other week (thank you ebay mobile notifications...) and apparently it was the last one the seller had.
Does anyone else do them?
It sold for (the secondhand original) just over $100
I even considered it and I really thought it would have sold for more.
That said, You can buy the horn cap and the insert brand new from Rare Spares.
You'll even spot them listed "separately" on ebay.
I assume your talking about the HQ version?
Stickthis was doing the badge in hx/z style font. You can get the caps from rare spares. I have that cap and badge on my WB. Put it on a couple of years ago.
Here is a listing on ebay for just the reproduction of the badge (insert) for HQ.

I think what the guys are referring to was a seller on ebay was producing and flogging horn badges that said "Sandman", but it was done in the HX-Z tailgate decal font. Looked alright and a bit different: Sandman decal linkHere is a listing on ebay for just the reproduction of the badge (insert) for HQ.
