Horn rebuild 1949 Jeepster

[SeanDo40]

Hi All, I am getting ready to put my steering wheel back together and had a question on the horn. In the attached picture I am wondering what the 3 items I marked with red lines are?

I have / am buying replacement parts #5,3,1 - Am I correct in assuming that is a metal washer under #5?

Horn does activate when grounded from the button above #6 wire.

Wanted to post a quick update on this horn issue. My issue was in the parts that KW doesn't sell in the horn assembly in the original schematic. I ended up taking a spring from a wheel cylinder and attaching a spent casing from a .22 caliber bullet. After some trimming of the spring and filling the brass down I was able to re-attach the horn button. Some trial and error but boy does that horn sound sweet. 5601

Looks great! McGiver would be proud!

Nicely done! Indeed McGiver has nothing on you.

It appears we are finding out you can work on a lot of things on an old Jeep with a few things from the Gun Shop!

Ira and I can both testify that a case tumbler will clean up old hardware very nicely. Clean off the grease and tumble for a day or so and hardware is as close to new as it's going to be - and you know it's the right grade!

Haha! It just keeps getting better. I bet that would be an awesome way to polish parts.
