Hi,
I pulled my steering wheel tonight to replace it with a restored one and found that the sleeve (located on the steering column) that the contact wire for the horn goes to is broken. The sleeve has a channel in it that the horn wire pushes into and then the wire hooks in place under some pressure from a spring to keep electrical contact. Does any one have any idea where I can get this piece or the proper way to disassemble the column at this point? I removed the C-Clip from the shaft and could feel there is some type of spring behind it so I put the clip back in place while I checked with the experts here..

I think you can just epoxy that back together. I don't remember there being much load there.

I think that's the same part that was broken on my '91 (there were so many it's hard to remember LOL) but I think I was able to get it from either Corvette Central or Eckler's

Thanks everyone...
Bogus I took your advice and used some epoxy and then JB Weld on it and it's working and all back together again. Vetteoz got me the correct part info so I am ordering it to have incase it breaks in the future. The horn did not work from when I bought the car and now i know why.. I have the car up on stands so I can remove all four wheels and give it a good cleaning in the wheel well area. I hope to post some pictures as soon as I finish. Thanks again... |
