Re: Need help with my steering column

When I took the later model one off and installed the 67-68 one the horn button does not make contact with anything so it will not snap in place. I purchased the nut and washer I was missing and I have way more threads showing that the guy with the blue steering wheel above does.

So I take it I am missing a grommet or bushing or something in the column. Sucks to take it all apart again. Does anyone have an exploded view?

The nut is not screwed on all the way in the picture above. Here is a picture of the parts that fit below and above the steering wheel. The metal cup is what holds the horn button in place. The horn button should have a rubber grommet/bushing on it.
