Dave, if the wheel fits on your 72, then you've got a 71 only steering wheel 
in your hands. I had to prove that to Russ (he didn't believe me that 71 was a 
one year only wheel), as I picked up one from him. I needed a decent 71 
wheel, that wasn't heavily cracked or chipped like the one I have. He gave me the 
one out of his 71 Fastback, then carried out an early wheel, and a late (72-on) 
wheel to put on it, and the late wheel fit on the 71, while the early one 
wouldn't. So, you're now looking for a 1 year only horn ring. It'll have an extra 
hole in it near the spot where the horn wire attaches to it for the wire to 
loop thru. That's how you tell the difference between them, as the 70 and 
earlier ones won't have that extra hole. I hope this helps.
