Horn Photo

[Edward Roberts]

Does anyone have a photo or more info on the horn button cup - Part 8-33-29 for the 46-48 Plymouth?

I'm surmizing it is a steel washer of 2 1/4" outside diameter and 5/8" id. The P.O., that funny guy, reassembled everything without it. I am about to pull the SS ground wire (with guide wire attached) and fashion a grounding cup. Just want to make sure I do it right the first time.

Is it more advisable to pull the retainer and contact and go in through the top? Everything looks to be in really good shape and I always like to work at a simple bullet disconnect rather than anything clamped if I can. Plenty of things wrong on the car without my two left hands adding any complications.

I know Dodgeb4ya and BobT-47P15 have had plenty of experience at this end of the circuit. Thank you in advance everyone.

As other people said beside myself, unhook the negative cable so it doesn't blow while you're working on it. Bob T had some good pictures of horn views. Pretty straight forward.

Thank you very much!

I've been out in my shop, much of the contents of which I inherited from my grandfathers. Found this piece. Too small all the way around, but funny that I found it. I wonder if it served a similar function on a 1951 Citroen or 1968 Mustang, both of which my grandfather owned for years.

I've found a large washer that will be going through a bit of metamorphosis today.

...but it works.

Thanks again for the specifics. I ended up making a new grounding cup by modifying a part from a syringe kit that I use for collecting automobile fluid samples for chemical analysis. Not original specs, but the spring fits right in and the horns sound great.

Lesson Learned: NEVER throw anything away... you might need it one day.

Good work, Ed. You never know when those saved bits and pieces will

come in handy. Keeps the old pioneering spirit going.

Glad it worked for you.

Very true!! I save leftover stuff from other projects and it has saved me through the years!
