Hi all having just purchased a spoked steering wheel(1963) for my traveller (to replace the plastic one)i find that the horn button in the centre is different ,so i purchased a horn button but that is all i have can anyone tell me what else i need and how it fits to the wheel itself.
Thanks Mark

Other suppliers may have the parts - MOSS just happens to be one of the best diagrams. Probably best though to just buy a complete column from a breaker.

This is the type of horn button for the three spoked dished wheel, I cant believe the price of it

It simply screws onto the wheel with the chrome screw visible in the picture, the brass bit is the contact from the wire in the centre of the steering wheel.

The horn push on a 3 spoke wheel is held in by a chrome set screw, the horn push on a 2 spoke wheel is held in by a spring clip. They are not inter changeable

Pretty sure the 'horn push' isn't the problem here.....

Better just refit the two spoke wheel till you gather up all the bits for the three spoke.
