★ Precision component for reliable electrical contact in the horn system of military jeeps.
Application
For military jeeps with the early-style horn system where the horn wire does not run through the bottom of the steering gear housing. The ring is mounted under the steering wheel on the steering column and works together with the horn brush (contact brush A302) mounted on the outer steering column.
Installation notes
The contact ring is mounted on the tube and worm assembly, beneath the steering wheel. Ensure the contact surface is clean and free from corrosion for optimal electrical contact. The ring must sit flat so the horn brush can make even contact.
Compatibility
Suitable exclusively for early-style horn systems. Not compatible with late-style systems where the horn wire runs through the bottom of the steering gear housing. Check your steering column configuration before ordering.
Historical context
The early-style horn system with contact ring and brush was the original configuration on WWII military jeeps. Later in production, this was replaced by a system where the wire ran through the worm gear.
