Hello all
Looking for resources on removing horn ring and or light flash button on the steering wheel.

button to work as a light flash to .
My Car is 58 A coupe 104120 6 volt
Thank you for your time and help in advance for this project

1965 356C 2000 BMW 740i Sport 1967 Honda CL77 There is never enough time to do it right, but always enough time to do it over.

Once off, do a Google search on the topic of the horn ring/button. Ed Rutherford has fixed several loose/non-op rings with a rubber ring and posted the process.

Also, be careful removing the button as excessive force will crack the Bakelite/plastic.
