I would like to fabricate a new button for my horn, I have a loose grasp of how the horn was supposed to work, but because my column is pieced together from various model years making it function how it did stock is out the window. Here's what I have (pic 1&2). My goal is to get the horn to make a sound when I push the horn button in the wheel.
option 1: I figure I can fabricate a small mount for a modern button or micro-switch underneath the original horn button that the original would rest on top of and when depressed it would push down on the small switch I add.
option 2: fabricate a super thin contact plate that would sit inside the steering wheel around the hole for the shaft below the cup/spring that would act as a ground when the cup/spring is depressed, with a wire from contact plate to ground and cup/spring would likely have a wire soldered to the cup running to the horn relay, therefore the ground be completed when the button is depressed hypothetically.
What do ya'll think is the best option? also new ideas are very welcome
