Just got this 914-6 GT. Horn wasn’t working. It’s a 914 steering wheel with a 911 hockey puck horn button. Pulled off the puck and the horn wire was wrapped in electrical tape. Think I figured out it’s because the base plate and spring plate aren’t isolated from each other. The pin was broken off the base plate. Bought a new base plate and a washer kit. Can’t figure out where the “top hat” shaped plugs go ( I now have six). Do they go in the base plate, the spring plate, or both? And in which direction? I’m truly lost and need kindergarten level instructions here. Thanks!

Everything is fine now. The wire was getting grabbed I think, plus this old fart (73) had to use more strength than he thinks he has, to get that last inch to lock her in.
