Could you email them to me? If so, I will PM my email address to you.

Will do.

EDIT

Sent pictures.

Wow, what a pain to put back together, that spring is stout!

I have a photo of a 55 horn set up if anyone wants it however it doesn't load up on this website. If interested I'll need an e-mail.

Bob,

Please forward the photo to me and I'll try uploading it on your behalf. ozstatman@gmail.com

I still can not upload any pictures from my IPad.
Still don't know why one posted but no more.

Thanks for this reference on page 42

I want to thank everyone who has helped me with my horn problem. As it turns out, the car was missing the large spring and washer that goes between the horn rim and the steering wheel.

Now all I need to do is to locate these two items. If someone who has been following this post as them and would be willing to part with them send me a PM

Again Thanks
Marty

Mission accomplished. Once I installed the spring and the washer the horn would sound and it would also sound at certain points when I turned the steering wheel (not good).

I found that the ring P/N 4.10083 was not fully seated. At this point, the horn no longer sounded, which led to the conclusion that the horn ring contact plate was no longer able to make contact with P/N 4.10083. I then placed a lock washers between the horn ring contact plate and the three posts on the horn ring, which led to the first sentence in post.

Again THANKS to all who led to a happy conclusion.

I'm glad it's working. I like everything to be functional even though I hate blowing the horn!

Just to clarify, 4.10083 is a group number rather than a part number. The actual part number in question is probably 458536. Anyway, I've been following this and glad to see that you have sorted it out!
