Hi all,
Just got myself a '65 Coronet convertible with a 440. Car is solid, unrestored and needs a little tidying up to improve.
I'm in the UK and we have an annual mandatory road worthiness certificate (MOT). I'm happy that the Coronet passed first time but I have an advisory on the non-working horn, which I have to fix.
I've figured out that I do not have a standard '65 Coronet steering wheel. Or maybe just the horn ring.
The ring is stamped #2530268 and the centre button is #2513138. Internet search revealed that the ring is 65/66 Belvedere/Satellite/Polara and the button is 61-68 Dodge Truck.
It looks ok though, so I'd like to retain.
I have the wire hanging out the top of the column, the horn ring fixed with three insulators and the centre button which twists on. Nothing else.
Does anyone have a diagram of the horn parts on the steering wheel please? I know I need a contact ring (just got one on ebay which I hope will fit #2497588) but is there anything else I need?
I'm not sure how the contact ring fits either.
Advice much appreciated.

PS - I'd rather not fit an aftermarket wheel to resolve. Prefer the stock look.
PPS - can post pics later if required, when I get home.
