As long as the topic of Europa steering wheels is floating around, does
anyone have an idea for a substitute Europa horn-push?  (Y'know, the 
button-thingy that goes in the center of the steering wheel.)

I've called around to several parts houses, but the closest I could come
to locating the correct horn-push was from a place in the Bay Area: $50
for a horn-push from the wrong car, wrong year, the Lotus logo in the wrong
color, and I could "...make it work if you just carve off a couple of
plastic bits."  This didn't fit my plans at all.  I'm more interested in
finding a horn-push assembly that will work than one that's the right
year, color, etc., but $50 seems outrageously high.

Would the push from some other car (with the same steering wheel, I'd
assume) work, or am I looking at the same cost anyway?
