Switching air bag to non air bag wheel...

[ypresman]

Switching from airbag steering wheel to an older momo... where exactly do I attach the horn wire and horn ground/earth once I run the button wires through the hub?

Black + goes through the hub to horn contact ring. This is the wire coming through the hub. Yellow is ground anywhere on the hub itself. You can sandwich it between the wheel and hub if you want. You probably still need your washers/spacers between the hub and the mounting nut since you have an airbag car.

You're also going to need to cut/pull/remove that white plug up at 11'oclock.

You'll need (2) total of the spacers- you should have one on there stock if your removing the airbag wheel now. So you'll need to get another one- 32311120260

I actually ordered an extra one, I can send it over tomorrow for $10 if you're rushed to get this done, I'm in PA.

Haha... a step ahead, I have that spacer/collar already (32311120260) but the only other spacer I have is the stock thinner one that's basically a washer which will sit right behind the nut... why other spacer do I need?
I also pulled that pin out as well but where do I attach the horn button wire when I run it through the hub? Is it the screw at 5 o'clock? And thanks for the offer!!

Just realized looking at my own photo the stock spacer is actually still on there, I'll just leave that alone... I'm assuming the order is ... stock spacer, hub, early model spacer, washer and Nut...
if I'm not mistaken? Only other issue with where the horn contact ring is... I still can't figure that out...

The white / brass button @ 6 o'clock on the column is the horn contact. Your hub will have a 360 ring built into it that contacts that button.

Good luck
