    Anyone know where to get something like this off the shelf?

    I fixed my horn yesterday (not working since '95 . .. what a rewarding hour) . .. got me thinking about mounting some more buttons on the steering wheel :). .. engine start, nitrous, start/stop camera recording.

    Did a basic internet search but couldn't find anything "standard" with thru holes without getting deep.

    Maybe some of the racing part suppliers now might have something off-the-shelf and low cost (with the recent trend to put buttons on the steering wheel), but, in a past life, the big industrial slip ring players were:

    Poly-Scientific http://www.polysci.com/SlipRings/slipring.html -- didn't research this, but, if you can limit the # of turns, the poly-twist stuff looks cheaper and simple. (Not what you need, but the picture shown of the "High-Speed Slip Ring Capsules" is the 8-ch 6000 RPM device that they developed for us in the mid-late 80s.)
