Hi all,
I decided to upgrade my convertible with a formula wheel - now I'm probably being stupid with this install - but I can't figure out the horn contact. I had it bolted together once but upon battery connect I got a solid horn, so obviously something wasn't right. For that attempt I positioned the horn "plunger" and little black collar in the hole in the "hub" - then pressed the hub on via the central nut. (Got solid horn sound on battery connect). Now I'm trying with the hub already pressed on - but can't figure out how to simultaneously position the plunger while installing the horn "extender" or whatever its called. I know the assembly diagram shows the plunger and little black collar going behind the hub, but I don't really see how that matters because the plunger fits inside the white plastic "tube" which comes all the way through the hub anyway. (Hopefully this makes sense). Does the little black collar sit behind the hub and steady the plunger somehow? - I noticed it has a "tab" on it that must have a function which I haven't identified. Also - after applying 30 lbs (per spec) to the main nut, there seems to be quite a gap between the column and hub... so I went up to 40 lbs - but there is still quite a gap. Can someone please advise? Thanks!
