Re: 1940 horn assembly

Lastly I removed the copper dish to show how it looks underneath. This is just held in place by friction. Mine actually had a small hole punched in the side that was flared out to help hold it in place. Note: I did fill the bottom of my cap with epoxy because it had a crack starting.

And finally at the last photos I tried the UPLOAD button and got multiple pictures in the same post. Sorry about that long journey and multiple posts folks!

Bottom gasket is softer foam like and compresses.

The lower gasket was also from Home Depot plumbing section. It is soft foam and provided the compression when the horn bar is pressed. The combination of the two gives a perfect height and the right amount of recoil or pressure so that the inner part of the horn bar is held off of the cooper bowl, but the touch and travel needed to activate the horn feels right. Honestly I got lucky with the combo.
Sorry I don’t have the packages from the gaskets anymore. The thin hard one is about 1/8” thick. Soft one is around 3/8”. Sorry I did not measure them last night while I had it apart.

The original foam or rubber gasket/insulator was deteriorating so the horn was going off on its own in the middle of the night. I used a hard rubber plumbing gasket from home depot for the top (well at least the top when the cap is upside down and you are looking at it.

This is the bottom of the horn bar. The bumps are the pivot point and ride in notches in the steering wheel.

There is a large fiber non-conductive washer first, then a spring, then a small fiber washer, then finally the conductive cap soldered to the end if the wire

Doing this per request from forum member. Sorry for individual posts per picture. I can’t see how to post multiple photos at once.

First remove the three screws in the back. I replaced the three screws with hex bolts. Installing and removing is way easier with an Allen wrench.
