I'm assembling my horn pad and can't find a place to connect the brown ground wire from the contact ring. Do I have the wrong base plate?
   I think this is what it is supposed to look like:  And the PET Parts List for a 1974 doesn't show the contact pin:  Thanks. George |

Here’s a picture of my stock 1975 wheel. It has a spade on one of the screws.

QUOTE(Steve @ Jun 9 2025, 01:03 PM)  Here’s a picture of my stock 1975 wheel. It has a spade on one of the screws. That spade is mounted to the screw, not the horn ring. If you hook that to the horn wire, the horn is going to sound all the time. |
