If your car has the horn on the end of the stick there is no way that you can have the horn inn the middle of the wheel unless you change the steering column to the early type.

I can get the end piece off the stalk, but I cant actually dismantle the end piece. I'm doing this because I ran a new wire up through the stalk for the horn and I need to connect the wire to the thingy inside the end piece. Any help? |

Oh yeah... I was going to hook up my horn to the horn button in the centre of my Momo wheel (seeing as it's a more 'natural' spot to put the horn) but there seems to be no way to get the wire to the button without it wrapping around the wheel every time you turn. |

OK, saying that... I just installed the horn in the middle of the wheel. HA HA HA! I worked it out with some clever wiring. basically, I rigged it up so that the wire to the horn is just long enough to wrap around the steering column when the wheel is turned full lock to full lock. I've positioned the wire so that it doesn't catch and interfere with the indicator stalk mechanisms, and I've also wrapped the length of it with electrical tape to make the wire more rigid and unable to kink. It works a charm! All you see is about 1 cm worth of wire at the base of the steering wheel boss, as the rest is hidden by the shroud. I will trial this for a while to see if there are any problems. If there are none, I will change the wire to black (shoulda done that in the first place) so it is near invisible. I have a horn again! And it sound less 'comical' than the original mini ones. |

that avatar is eerie. Eerie, yet hypnotic. And creepy. Definatly creepy. Good idea re the horn thing, though. I'll have to try that when Red is closer to completion. Let us know how it turns out. |

I had to work out how to the same thing FatMaserati so I drilled a hole in the plastic shroud, put a bit of clear plastic tubing through the hole then ran the wires from the horn through the tubing and down the outside of the shroud then joined them with pullout connectors so if I need to take the steering wheel off at anytime.. No more twisted and broken wires..
