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.
Tony
