49' Horn Button
Can anyone tell me how the horn button parts go together and how they work. I have an exploded view from the parts book but its hard to read. Looks like the copper color plate fits on the steering column tube, then the spring with fingers fits in the plastic button but there must be other pieces like on the end of the wire.

Is this the drawing you have?
The horn wire has a end crimped on it. First the "Support" tin cup is held to the bottom with the steering wheel with steering wheel retainer nut, then the "Retaining Clip" is inserted into the "Support" the "Contact" is placed on the "Support". You need the "Insulator" or the horn will continuously sound. Then comes the "Button Spring" and then the "Button" cover. The Button Spring is comes in contact with the crimped wire end and is insulated from the grounding Contact Plate until the Button is pressed and forces the outer edge of the Button Spring to come into contact with it.
I hope this helps.
