Default Horn help

Hi Guys,
My horn hasn't worked since I bought the car so I bought an overhaul kit and pulled it to bits today.

I am certain that I have it all connected correctly, but it still doesn't work. If I screw it all together with the leg on the horn button contact not touching the contact brush in the hub, then the horn won't work.

If I bend the leg out a bit so that it touches the horn button contact, the horn goes (non stop) once I have the screws tightned up.

I can't make head nor tail of how it's supposed to work! Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

No, nothing there. I have all new components except for the steering wheel hub.

Thanks anyway though mate, I appreciate it!
