[Mgs] Speaking of horns

[Charley & Peggy Robinson]

Holy Smoke!  I was thinking of a spiral-wound spring with a contact 
cylinder riding on it.  They used to fit in a hole drilled in the 
steering wheel hub and rub on a slip ring mounted on the column. If 
that's what you have I'd replace it on the grounds that it may have lost 
tension in that long arm.  Too bad you can't just get the switch.  Looks 
like it just slides into the clamp and is retained by friction.
