Since we're on the subject of horns... does anyone have one of those
plastic sleeved, spring loaded, dual brass contact switches use in the
horns of the later cars? I'm referring to the ones in the steering wheel,
used in at least the '72 thru '75 models. I accidentally broke a perfectly
good one the other day.
Thanks,
Gerard
