That page is latest no update.
Sent you a pm as perhaps the link won’t open for you.

Dan,
Thank you for posting the step-by-step with photos.
Only took me 30 minutes to install a new horn button by not using those steps.
I had to go to confession at my local church for using very bad language while doing the installation.

Thank you for the PM. I did not realize that the MTFCI website had your articles in the hot links on the main page. Maybe I should look at their website a bit more often.
I probably spent 3 hours today trying to get that horn button put together. It was on there before, but sure does not want to go back on now. I replaced the wires, and when it is together the button moves about 10 thousands. I have to find a way to get it together so the button works. I might have to try the upholstery tack method that you used. Can't hurt.
Thank you for your help.

I wonder if it would be easier to install this button instead of the original.
Has anyone else done that?
