Default Missing 66 tilt column pieces

Can someone tell me where does the horn wire attach, it's missing, and is that a big job to attach a new one? and what horn assembly parts will I need to have a functional horn? Last is the metal part with the 3 bolts a original piece?

No longer have the previous tilt column. Bought one already rebuilt, shaft turns so easy.

If that's one of the ones off of Ebay, its probably converted from a column shift. Some guy(s) on there sells rebuilt floor-shift columns that are not floor-shift columns, just appear like they are.

They're usually a good deal (for a reason) but not correct.

Hey cheif.

No, a couple of years back Ames was selling them, well I should of bought it from them back then, they no longer have anymore.. So another supplier has 3 left, my guess is they bought them from Ames, and raised the price up by $200.. Yes, it was expensive, but if you consider buying a used one, like I previously did, it's just not worth it, by the time you send it out and pay for shipping both ways it will more than likley cost you more plus the hassle of dealing with the guy thats restores them.. And I did not want to go with ididit column.

I got stuck with one of the converted ones several years ago when I bought out an estate. They're not bad for someone just looking for a tilt column for comfort, but you can clearly see that it used to be a column shift.

I heard about some people doing that.. I would not trust myself taking apart a column and putting it back together.
