If it is any consolation the later ones like mine with a horn in the middle use a contact switch that rides on a ring. The tiny springs like to break in them and nobody makes them aftermarket... so I am in the same boat for a horn.My dad put the intermittent wiper switch on mine years ago, plug and play, but it has always had a dead spot right where you want them to run. Couldn't find the same style turn signal switch that operates my horn on my truck so I have one that has cruise control that I can't use. However its a longer lever switch which is nice. I just use my finger and engine as a horn instead.
I had that problem, then I just started looking in the junkyard for anything with the same style contacts and changed the springs/contacts in my plastic housing.. The housing is held together with 2 little aluminum rivets that aren't hard to remove. It is a PITA to re-assemble though.If it is any consolation the later ones like mine with a horn in the middle use a contact switch that rides on a ring.

It is low enough on my to-do list I just haven't gotten to it yet.I had that problem, then I just started looking in the junkyard for anything with the same style contacts and changed the springs/contacts in my plastic housing..

CoolNow that I think about it it was in 2000 that my dad brought what is now my truck home. $500 off the side of the road.
Everything I have is old, same crap different day.Nice on what it takes to make things that are old to do what you want.
It was tighter than what is in the truck now... so far so good.That would have caused problems quickly.
