Default 1982 horn repair questions, what are these?

The horn has never worked. I bought the repair kit for the horn. I have looked at the diagram for what goes where for the reinstall. Please look at the picture. I took out 4 old shims, the new kit came with one....is that normal? Also, I have 2 neoprene washers and a rubber spacer? that was also not part of the kit and is not represented on the rebuild diagrams. Have any of you seen this? Where do they go?

You are correct and I have no idea why, I never went to a Camaro site. Nevertheless, my statement stands, did you go to the Ecklers Corvette site and look up those numbers. Only the shims are in the kits none of the other parts in your picture
