Does anyone know what size bolt this is? It looks like three of them hold a plate in that in turn is used to attach to the steering wheel. I am missing two of them.

While on this topic, this is my second 914. I've been around numerous other 914s but I realized the other day I have never heard the horn on these cars. I have no idea what it sounds like. It is definitely on my list of things to fix.

Thanks in advance.

Take out the one you have and measure the diameter and length. My guess us 4 x 20.

Take the remaining one to a hardware store. Most of them have gauge plates that you can thread the screw into to see what size it is.

I'm guessing it's an M6 screw, but that's just a guess.
