70, cst10, trapazoid horn assembly...

[Lance-ftw]

I've got the trapazoid shaped horn button on my 1970 chevy CST10. When I bought it they had wired the horn to a button on the underside of the dash. I recently had the truck re-wired and they ran the wires back up into the steering collumn like god intended.

THey didn't hook it back up, said I was missing a spring or something.

I took the parts that were there, I have a semi-concave round metal plate that has three holes in it and three grooves cut into it.

I've got a metal cup that the horn botton clips into.

I've got a plastic ring that has three grommets for screws to go through.

I have no screws.

Help!

The horn deffinitely works, I tried just putting all the parts in there and the horn started going off on me but I have no idea what order to put them in and I have no idea what type of screws I need to assemble the whole thing.

The screws are a special shoulder screw so you can't use anything else. Someone on the parts board will have some...

Thanks for the replies.

I'm just gonna buy the 25 dollar kit that comes with the screws and stuff and replace all the guts.

finally got the beast up and running after having it completely re-wired.

side note: Didn't want to start a whoel new thread, is there any major risk in plugging the compressor switch in backwards? i.e. you put the plug on backwards, the switch itself is installed right but the plug... I couldn't really tell which way it was supposed to go on so I stuck it on, now it wont come off.

When I turn on the AC and slide it over to the point that it engages the switch the engine weakens a little (so it's obvious that it's engaging 'something') so I'm assuming it's right lol.
