interesting Dave,
just going out to the shed now to pop the horn button again....
I wonder - have you had a replacement steering box put in yours?
OOps....... read this - the nut is different thread from a wheel nut - the steering nut thread is 1/2" UNF - do NOT try to force a wheel nut on - please, hope this got to you before doing so.......
This thread is up in two places - my reply didn't come up in the other one....
frats,

Anyone watching this - the thread size is DEFINITELY different - please do not force a wheel nut onto the steering shaft.......

frats,
Rosco
