98% of you probably already know to do this.... but! After screwing around for 30 minutes trying to pry and pinch a new horn button into my Nardi Classico Steering wheel without cracking it... I discovered something. Lift the trim ring that holds the horn botton housing in the wheel hub... it's chrome like the hub outer ring so you'll need a fine blade to start then pop it off with a small screw driver. Unplug the horn hot line... walk over to your bench, have a seat, maybe sip a beer, then line up the 3 tabs on the outer ring of the button with 3 matching inner gaps in the horn hub housing that were not easially visible while it was mounted to your hub. The rest is a piece of cake. when you are done, rehook the hotwire and snap the housing back into the hub.

I know.... but it cost me 30 minutes of frustration, Hopefully this will help somebody. It came after spending the evening remounting my seats and smashing a finger in the proccess. Murphy was alive in the shop tonight!

Jim, thanks for the tip on the horn button. By the way, how did the seat mounting go? I lowered the driver's seat down to the floor by cutting the rails off the stand offs, and welding them to 1/8" plate on the pan itself. In order to get the seat this low you may have to trim the original seat rails down so they won't interfere with the bottom of the seat. That puts my seat rails 1/8" off the pan. Let me know how you did yours.
