Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think my horn contact assembly is good I just need to find a way to reattach the clip on the back of the horn button itself.

Zip Corvette sells just the rivets. I've replaced the ones on my 79.

Restored mine a few weeks back. I used JB Weld. There's not a lot of meat on the rivet stub to drill and put anything in there without risking coming through the front.
