My horn is now tootin’ pretty good for now. Oh and that horn disk you say you don’t need, I have one just like it except yours is in better shape. Are you willing to part with it? If so what do you need for it?

Thanks,
Steve

Horn wheel hub making me NUTS!

Hi, Can anyone please tell me what I’m doing wrong here……? I now have the wiring correct but I can’t seem to get the horn ring and steering wheel center cap on. I don’t want to force it on yet there’s a gap of about 1/4” from the mounted steering wheel to the cap. If I force it then when I turn the power on the horn will go on by itself which makes for a not too pleasant ride.

The 2 parts that are new which were missing are the 6 fingered spider disk and the brass cap that holds the hot electrical tip in place. The blue tape in the pictures is to hold the spring in place.

Thanks for any help to get my ‘39 Super Eight tooting away. I was told it’s the same setup as a late ‘30’s to early ‘40’s 120/160.

Steve

It’s been a few years for me also but I believe there was a ring of foam that went inside the spring?

1939 Super 8 horn connections

Hi, my ‘39 Super had some parts missing from the steering wheel hub assembly. I have just installed a new steering box so I have the wire going through the shaft to the steering wheel. I’m missing in the hub assembly a metal button that’s soldered to the end of the wire and an insulation donut ring. I do have the brass spider and of course the stainless horn ring. Does anyone know where I can get the insulation donut ring, or something that could substitute and what are the steps for the correct location of the parts. My parts book doesn’t have a diagram to show the placement of the parts.

Thanks!

Steve

Looks like mold on the fur and steering wheel?
