How have people seated the round horn button correctly on the morris steering wheels as most have a crack and are no longer a press fit. Steering wheel has been restored as has the button.

Thoughts

Usually a screw that goes in the side of the wheel that screws to a bracket on the horn which keeps it all together

I know what u mean. Mine was like that too. Somehow something must get out of shape. I think I improved mine by grinding away the side of the metal cylinder on the centre that the screw goes into. So then when you tighten the screw it might just pull it a little crooked and pull that gap down when tightened.

I also used to get a bit of cloth tape and add it under the edge of the centre adjacent to the screw and that also helped to pull the centre on straight when tightened.

If your gap is that big though these ideas it may not work. Mine was just a few mm.
