Many thanks - I'll have another go at it today. The rubber cuff and the nylon washers were all missing when I bought the car.
I've had similar problems with the horn on my '71 VW Camper - they use springs instead of the rubber cuff but just as rubbish design. I've spent hours on it and still use a switch on the dash!

Bad design by Porsche on this, totally archaic. Was the wire a porsche design. The early cars 70-71 use a plunger like the 911's. I thought the wire was VW like the mid-late columns. |

I'm offering up props here. So many times threads go dead when someone got their answer. We need to pay the answers forward. Answers are better than dead threads. Thanks to this community.
