Default Need picture of a steering wheels without the horn button

Hi guys,

I totally rebuilt my steering. The last owner put a custom steering wheels that I replaced with an original one. I have just trouble putting the horn contact, how do you fix it to the wheels? should I put some plastic screw (isolated).

I would really appreciate if some one could send me a pictures of a 1968 non-telescopic steering wheels with the horn button (incl. retainer) removed, thanks

Regards
Michael

Check out your 'Vette specialty catalogs (Zip's, Mid-Atlantic, etc)...

The Corvette assembly manual has excellent illustrations in it. It's well worth the cost of buying one. You'll be surprised how much you can learn. :banghead:

The 1967 non-tele should be the same as a 1968. These pics were taken when I replaced the upper bearing.

Thanks guys for the precious infos,

Actually I was expected to see a spring somewhere to hold the contact away from the metal part but everythings looks to be fixed. I suppose that the contact is made by bending the metal part of the button against the metal part of the steering wheels, is that correct?
