 Jim and listers all,

I don't know if the TR6 steering and horn arrangements are the same as the
TR4A but I solved this problem once and for all by grinding the teeth away
from an old hacksaw blade and earthing the driver's end of the steering
column with the blade attached with a self tapper  to the bracket that
carries the clutch and brake master cylinders.The 4A hs a relay for the
horns so minimal current is involved.

Also repaired the horn push about twenty years ago with the carbon electrode
from a dry battery and a suitable spring from a ballpoint pen housed inside
the pen barrel cut to the appropriate length. That is still working well.
