#1 Horn Push Rod
Posted: Tue May 21, 2013 10:56 am
I am changing the steering wheel on my 1965 4.2 S1 FHC. The car came with a 14" MotoLita with a horn push centre that was sprung.
The replacement kit (15" wheel, boss & horn push) is from MotoLita, my isssue is the horn push is not sprung (it 'flip-flops'!) The centre rod in the column does not appear sprung either. looking at the diagrams, there should be a spring and ferrul near the base of the rod.
Questions -1. Should the centre rod feel sprung? (the rod sits neatly on the centre nut) 2. How does one go about inserting the spring, if indeed it is missing?
Thanks
