Horn Button on Steering Wheel
Discussion
Stalks are on my to do list and I have already bought the Escort Mk4 stalks with no horn button on the left and wash button on the right which I will use as the wash button.
I think I have posted before that like Mark I am trying to achieve a cockpit and dash as close to a production type car as possible. This then allows you to concentrate on driving the car rather than having to remember where all the switches are especially the indicator control. The horn is just one of those things.
Thanks again for all the useful info.

Hi Pedders
After your last post about the Astra slip ring I bought one on eBay. Being a bit useless on wiring and other jobs to do I haven't got round to trying to work our how to use it. On initially looking at it I wasn't sure how to fit it to the steering column. Looking at your photos I'm still not sure how you fitted it. Any further info would be appreciated.
Just to say to all who have helped me with the various jobs I am undertaking thanks very much, your depth of knowledge never ceases to amaze me.

Hi Guys
Just an update following Pedders brilliant idea to use a slip ring (didn't know they existed until then). I bought an Astra one the same as Pedders and had an aluminium bush made with a grub screw to grip the steering column. When I fit it I will make an aluminium plate to attach to the 2 outer screw holes and fix to the chassis. There are more wires than I need but I'm sure that those who want use the 'buttons on the steering wheel' approach will find this useful. It should save money from the wireless route.
