Here you go. I pulled it off a little so you can see the whole shbang. As you can see by the scaring, I tried to get the collar of but don't think it does. I had the whole shart out. Even if it did, the threads for the wheel nut would stick put to much. Also, I'm assuming the spring you are talking about is where the wire comes in?

Great! Figures one would show up after I buy one!!

I'll post a photo soon but I don't think I can make the collar disappear since it looks moulded in. Even if I could I'm sure I'd open up a can of worms with the wheel placement, etc.... I'm not a machinist so I don't think I can do it.

I'll check it out. With that mysterious collar, I have to pull the shaft out. Fun, fun, fun!

I didn't see a spring.

I always thank the ones that help me. This is great, thank you!

Well I made a bracket for the one side and I used the vacuum tank bracket for the other. All wired up and no blaring so I think I got it isolated. Unfortunately, when I press the button down, nothing. Not sure what the horn pin is suppose to ground out on but I thought because of that mysterious collar, maybe the pin needed to be longer so I used an awl and nothing. Thoughts?

Should I be offended by that question? Right now I'll choose no. To answer that, I am serious about a book. Sometime ago I asked about a windshield. Bill posted an original drawing for the glass with sizes. So why wouldn't I think that somewhere out there, someone has what I need? And to answer your 2nd question, First car in the 20's. Had many 60's & early 70's muscle.

Resurrecting this post. Anyone have info on this bracket?

Need to make or buy a bracket for my NE Model X horn. Is there a book with diagrams available?

And how do I confirm that? Remember, electrically challenge?

Unfortunately, I have been working this whole time with the button off!!!

I tend to agree with you so I did the same, but still blaring away! I pulled the collector off its seat and when I connected the wire to the ammeter, nothing, no sound which is what I expected so I thought maybe it's the tiny bit of wire showing and corrected that. Didn't do the trick. started blaring again. Can the collector go bad?

I tried to use a puller but it seems the collar is part of the shaft. So I figured out the the shaft needs to be disconnected from the gear box and pulled out alittle (it was seated al the way in). That did the trick. I fed the wire thru and put it all back together. Once I connected the last wire to the ammeter, the dam thing started to blar. I wonder if because I don't have the nylon, could that be why it goes off?

What I'm not getting is HOW do I push a wire down the column when I can even get the ring off? Don't I have to get the wire to this point on the photo?

Yes but how the hell do I get the collector off so I can run the wire into the hollow of the column?!

I see how it gets 'hooked up', but how do I fed the wire through the column to connect it to the collector? It looks like the wheel has to come off but then how do you get the collector off so you can attach the wire?!!! HELP! all ready to get this done.

I'm thinking I do because right below the throttle/spark advance unit, there is a hump that looks in line with the screw of the collector ring. That combined with hollow down tube of the steering column leads me to believe the wheel needs to come off and the wires fished down to the engine bay. If so, then my next question is this: Do I run only one wire from the ring to the horn and the other grounded to the engine? I'm asking this while at work so I don't have the book in front of me.

So I guess the next question is how is it hooked up? I have no wires and apparently need to run new ones. The books don't say anything about this. Does the steering wheel have to be removed?

I bought the one I saw on Ebay at a reduced price. I figured since it was a NE unit, what the hell. At this point, I don't care if it say ooga or move out of my way!

Ahhhh! Thank you. I didn't get on line when the were handing out electrical smarts.

No side lights or separate switch bit nevermore I found out the scoop. I asked the question before looking at the book. Single contact bulbs all around

So I think I have an issue. Since the dashboard lamp switch has 'DIM' and 'ON' postions, does this mean high vs low beam? If so, would that mean that I should have a double contact bulb (2 filaments) in my headlamps?!

Had a nice back and forth via ebay mail with him. Unfortunately, he is out of the business but gave me some good insight to horns. He favors Hutchins for their 'true' 3 tone. Since I have no experience with this I never paid attention to the sound in the past. What does the Klaxon sound like? Is it a 3 note? If acceptable I will make a reasonable offer to the eBay'r.
