Any Quick Fix ideas for a Horn Spring... lost mine

Hey All,

Anyone have any quick fix ideas on a horn spring... You know the one that goes around that little metal piece so that the horn can activate and not stay on all the time.

I had to work on my turn signal switch and all that went great. However I dropped that darn spring and now am at a stand still.

It is all I have left before I take my truck in for State Inspection...

Sad thing is I have had several of those thing floating around before I moved. Now I need a quick fix for it other than driving to the Junkyard...

Thanks

Stacey

A friend made one from a ballpoint pen spring once, I think. It was a long time ago.

agree i say a pen spring will work but if you really like to have the right one you can get them from the junk yards free cause it fits in your pocket
