Horn Switch

My horn switch/button in centre of steering wheel has taken to falling out. There doesn't seem to be any positive locking device and after trying to refit it I have resorted to blu-tak. What should hold the unit in place? Very inconvenient to have it fall out when going round a corner and having it dangle on its short length of wire!
Cheers,
Mike

Thank you for your help. You are right, there is no sign of any clips so I will order some. I had expected that it just pushed in and turned something like a radiator cap.
Cheers,
Mike

Following on from my question regarding the horn button on 16th September I have now got round to buying the clips. However I haven't a clue as to how they are fitted. I have looked carefully at the steering wheel centre but can't see how the clips fit. As usual the various workshop manuals don't mention them. It amazes me how what I find difficult is ignored while they go on at length about what is obvious!!
Help needed, please,
Mike

The clips just clip over the spare 'gaps' in the back. Hopefully this helps:[frame]Image[/frame]
