Installation notes
<cite index="21-1,21-26,21-35">The kit consists of a nut, copper plate, rubber cover and wire with a spring and contact at one end and a male connector at the other end.</cite> <cite index="36-5,36-6">The wire is guided through the centre of the steering column, passed through the hole next to the copper ring, excess length is cut off and soldered.</cite> For installation, it is often necessary to remove or loosen the steering column tube for access.
Compatibility
<cite index="44-1,44-13">Please note: there are different versions of horn wiring — early models have a different system with a copper collar on the inner shaft, late models have a welch plug with inner tube.</cite> Check before installation which system is present in your vehicle.
Historical context
<cite index="31-4,31-15,31-20">The horn system works by means of a contact that is earthed when the button is pressed — voltage runs via the wiring down through the steering column, and when the button is pressed this contact is earthed, causing the horn to sound.</cite>
