[TR] [6pack] Horn Works on its own

[Joe Laurito]

Bob;

It may take a while to get the part from La Bella Italia. In the meantime,
every time you turn a corner, just wave at someone.

Bob,
The copper rod (technical term....thingie) just came right out with no
problem. There's a plastic grommet in the adapter that the rod passes
through. The spring then held tension on the rod for good contact with the
horn ring on the column. I'm going to try a temporary fix by drilling a
small hole through the rod and inserting a pin to hold the spring.

I'll let you know what happens.

Hi,

If it makes you feel any better, I have exactly the same situation with my
Grant steering wheel adapter.

I gave up and installed a universal horn button and wired it directly to the
horn relay. No more intermittent horn!

I also carried a 1-1/16" socket around for a while "just in case" I had to
pull the steering wheel offto unjam the thingie in the Grant adapter.

I presumed that a replacement part implies that you have to get a new
adapter (good luck getting the old thingie out of the adapter, it's pressed
in quite nicely!). We're most interested to hear the outcome of your
situation.

Do you have the 14" wheel? I have the 13" so I can turn-in quicker. Lots of
fun on race tires! I like it som much, I have the same wheel on both TR6's!
