I've got the oer repro, it says I need to reuse original hardware, of which I don't have since the car has a grant wheel in it. It also comes with no instructions. Do I have the pieces fit together properly like this? If so it looks like I need small machine screws to attach the horn relay to the horn pad retainer and some additional machine screws to attach the whole assembly to the wheel?

What year is your car?
You show many parts, which ones are yours?
3 machine screws hold that to the wheel, holes marked here.

3rd photo here the switch is upside down. the flat surface with one barb goes to the wheel. Aftermarket parts may not have the barb.

Those are all my parts! :lol:
Just in different order.

I had the horn relay wrong as you said.
How long are the screws?

Correct like this?

That’s not a horn relay, it is a spring loaded switch. The relay is a metal box with flat spade connectors. It’s on the firewall by the horns on a 68.

That round silver housing is wrong for a 68.
 
Yes, not the relay.
This is the 66-69 kit from them, 70 being different.
Wrong as in won't work or not reproduced accurate to oem?
 
Now my eyes could be off, but that looks like a 1970 part with straight “legs”. the 1968-69 part has the 3 legs curved.

does it look like this one at the bottom?

Is that yours you have in hand? Can you take pics of the horn spring mounted?
 
Yes, you have the right part for 68.
And they have 2 barbs on The bottom
Screws are short that hold it to the wheel.
