Default Best way to attach horn button

I'm wondering what the best way is to attach the horn button on my '75 T/T? I seem to remember someone talking about JB Weld but that was 5 years ago...

Also: does anyone know off-hand what the bulb number is that goes way in the back of the luggage space? (coupe if that makes a difference)

Thanks!

The horn button snaps on ,and you are going to use JB Weld
Why not just fix it correctly ?

this is a good repair and no its not a bubba visit....the plastic button that you pry up is connected to a metal ring that makes contact and engages the horn...sometimes when you pry up the button the two seperate....and JB Weld is a good epoxy to put them back together
