Stock wheel horn contact question
Posted earlier in the wrong section: my Bad.......
Trying to get a stock wheel back on my 72 Blazer after removing a aftermarket wheel. How does the horn contact and spring fit into the canceling cam? I can't find a real assembly photo but the LMC catalog show the contact pin first(wide part down), followed by the spring then the plastic spacer. No way this can work. Only way I can figure is spring first, then plastic spacer followed by contact pin(wide side up) but the spring seems really weak. Any inputs appreciated. Thanks, Tony |

Re: Stock wheel horn contact question
Ok all figured out;
Thanks to Sharpie for providing me a stock cam cancel with the Horn contact in it. The LMC catalog is wrong and the parts they sold are the wrong size. Catalog shows contact first wide-side down, spring then the retention piece. Correct way is spring first, contact wide-side down, then the retention piece. The hole in the cam cancel tube is .245 diameter and the contact LMC sells is .275 inches wide; a no fit condition. I put the contact into my Dremel tool and spun it on a sheet of sandpaper until I got to .240 diameter; works perfect.............now. Real fix was installing Sharpies stock part; Thanks again.
