If your horn button setup is the same as my 4A I did the following years ago 
and it still works fine. Also very economical.
I found a plastic ball point pen of the same diameter as the original 
contacting cylinder and cut the  barrel to the same length. I also found 
that the centre electrodes of a used dry battery, can't remember the size, 
were just right to fit inside the ball pen. Then fitting the spring from the 
same ball point in between two small lengths of carbon electrode made an 
externally insulated cylinder of the right size to make the contact between 
the brass lug on the horn button and the copper slip ring inside the 
steering wheel boss.
Hope this makes sense!
