I thought I had all the parts for this swap but now I’m not sure. First off when I mocked the parts up I noticed my contact ring is toast.

I also went with the J West adapter to bring the wheel out and up a bit.

I know the wire from the contact ring goes up through the hub and connects to the center tab on the horn button, and I thought the other tab on the horn button grounded to the silver ring that sits under the wheel. But after putting this together I’m not sure

And after putting the horn button in the wheel, it does not seat properly. What holds the horn button in anyway?

Also, is the blinker canceling tab mounted at the 3 o clock position if the wheel is straight?

I have just encountered the same issues. My horn button did push fit in to the wheel though and stay put. The return electrical path in my case is via the spring projecting from the side of the button. It is important for that to connect firmly with a steel part of the wheel/hub (or at least an aluminium part with the anodising removed). Then another essential element is the use of a conducting (graphite based in my case) grease between wheel/hub and column. I still found slightly high resistance in that return path but hopefully it will be ok. I am days away from powering up my complete custom built electrical system so will only know if it works once the sparks have stopped flying..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

See more soon on my Scottish reincarnation thread......
