Loose horn ring on ‘65

[BigFlo]

A minor annoying issue - my horn ring rattles when driving. Otherwise, everything works fine. I’ve tried playing with the metal tines on the rear of the horn ring that slide on the ramps when you twist the horn ring on. That hasn’t helped. Any ideas out there to tighten the horn ring?

is the mount loose on the chrome ring?

No. The mount to the chrome ring is solid. There is good resistance when I turn the chrome ring to mount it to the base (whatever that piece is called). But after it’s mounted, it has some play in it. Not sure if that’s normal, but it has enough play to rattle when I ride over bumps in the road.

Just guessing here. Try bending the tabs down then twist them to ride up the locking ramp.

Mine is real tight. The issue I had was getting the re-pop wheel to fit.

Ok. I’ve tried a version of of that but I will try again a little more aggressively.

The picture you posted is from an ebay add. How does it compare to your horn ring?
