Horn button repair (new style)

I came up with a cheap way to fix the horn button in my deuce. The groove in the rubber adapter that the retaining ring fits in had worn to the point that the ring would not hold the button in. Someday when I get a new 5 ton size steering wheel I will get a new horn button kit but for now this will work. I simply cut a ring out of plastic with the inside diameter sized to hold the horn button in. Since the screws now don't go into the recesses in the rubber adapter I had to get longer screws (original = 1-1/4 new = 1-1/2). I also bent a piece of wire to act as a spacer instead of the original retaining ring.
