Horn button jumping off...

Post by Arthurdaily »

I was zooming along, almost hitting 60... when the centre of the steering wheel, the horn button, leapt up and attacked my nose ina sort of horror film manner... since then it won't stay on...

The button, not my nose...

Anyway, there appears to be no fixings or anything? How is it supposed to saty on my 67 minor? Bits of matchsticks to jam it one seems fav at the moment, but there must be a clip missing surely?

Thanks! :)

It's an early warning system to tell you the previous owner was a bit of a bodger.
Take it easy for a while and carry tools!

Possibly! Also discovered that the two screws holding the top hinge of the quarterlight are missing...
