My 75 914 had the plastic sleeve fall apart and it would honk the horn when you hit a bump it was so loose. I took it apart and saw what was wrong and ordered a sleeve and it came in and it was just like the one in my son's super beetle. The little wavy metal split one. It's harder but I think I remember putting it in with the lip under the bearing so it would stay in place but zach's suggestion of using a spacer on top of it seems like a good solution to me, I rember reading his thread. I had mine apart more than once before I got it as tight as I wanted it. I think I had to shim the top bearing in the housing some.
