Default Horn Help

1975 T&T column. PO gutted the horn so I have little left. Looking for comprehensive instructions and ALL the parts inside the column to make the horn work again. Can't tell if the "horn rebuild" kits sold by the vendors are complete. Downloaded Jim Shea papers but horn wise they seem basic.
Thanks.

Do you have a horn on the car? If so here is a test for you.

Yes, the horn is in place. Haven't tested it yet and thanks for the info. Like I said, need all the horn internals including item 'A' in your diagram.
Thanks again.

If you are needing 'A' in Willcox's post...also make sure that you CAREFULLY look at the lower horn contact that "A' goes into. They can break and thus....there is no notch that will allow the little nub of plastic that is made into the black plastic part of part 'A' to lock an hold in place.

If it is broken...this is the part you will need for the tele-tilt column.

And more than likely you will want to get one of these also...because they break.
