Re: Horn button repair
Correct, bend the small metal tabs back but VERY CAREFULLY. I used some small needle nose pliers to bend them back. Work slowly and bend each one just a small amount and work your way around the horn. Once you have your new plastic piece with the good tabs in, you'll have to bend them back in to secure everything. Again you'll have to work carefully and bend each one just a bit to try and get even clamping force all the way around. I made a small jig out of wood and lined it with some soft micro fibre towels to hold the horn button in place. Then used a metal rod and light hammer taps (with a small hammer) to slowly and carefully bend them back in. Hope this is helpful, post some pics when you've completed your horn button restoration.
