Re: Constant Horn
Many decades ago, when I went to replace the plastic center emblem on my '55 Fairlane, I noticed that the rubber standoff behind it was hard as a rock. I found an old spark plug boot (the one that plugs into the distributor) and after verifying it was still very pliable, placed it behind the center emblem and it worked well.
As far as that bottom rubber pad that was glued to the bottom plate, I wish someone would tell us what was the purpose of it. The fact is, that plate is continuously grounded while it is held out against the steering wheel hub in its normal position, but the horn does not sound because if the horn ring is not depressed, that plate is not in contact with the horn wire. So, it can't be to insulate the metal plate from the steering wheel hub when the horn ring is depressed right???
And if that bottom plate does actually come in contact with the well of the steering wheel hub when the horn ring is depressed, so what. You don't care because it is grounded also.
