Its been so long since I took it apart I cant remember how it goes back together, and I think I have an extra spring...Help!  | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 | I'm sorry I can't help with your problem but this is the perfect example of why one needs to take lots of pics when taking their ride apart. Not only does it document the restoration but also gives you help putting things back together.

Then place the horn contact plate it has a tab to guide it in place. Then install the washer/nut. Make sure all contacts are clean. Torque wheel to 35/40 ft-lb’s and hook up contact wire under dash. Install the horn button by pressing it onto the contact plate and test it, some minor adjustments may be necessary but it is a pretty simple mechanism. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2001 Posts: 35 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2001 Posts: 35 | thank you Brad. I had cut the bottom end off my steering column to do the power steering conversion with the saginaw box, and for some reason I had a spring on the wheel end of the column.....and it has been long ago enough I could not figure out why the spring was there. My contact plate was the original and I managed to put a little much twist on it and the fiber/plastic part of it broke, so I am waiting on parts. I had tried ten ways to incorporate the spring, and no way was it going to fit. Sometimes if I sleep on things my memory works again the next morning. Thanks again. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | Those horn buttons work so much nicer than the ones on the new high tech vehicles. I guess that is the price of progress! | | |
