I installed a new horn brush in the steering wheel, and when I blew the horn the small spring melted.My 49 has NO horn relay.The horn ground wire runs up the steering column.
I seem to remember a horn brush that had a braided wire inside of the spring to take the electrical load. Do any of you guys know where to get one??? wave

Ya need the relay Bill, that's why ya melted the spring. Simply to much current present in that circuit. Someone must have thought it would work with out it and by passed it.

My 49 is an early 49 and the wiring diagram doesn't showa horn relay. Battery to one horn term, gound to steering column.
