R30 Horn Switch

[benny_blanco]

Could someone with an R30 do me a favour.

I dont have a pic, but I can put one up if need be.

For the horn swith in the steering collumn the top of the switch there is a head/cap on top of a pin. Mine is all flogged out. From memory it was ontop of a moving pin and was made out of brass or copper. cos its flogged out there is no contact between the steering wheel and the pin in the steering coloumn.

Could someone take some dimensions of the cap, so I can turn one up on the lathe at work. I have no idea what the overall length has to be.

You got the standard steering wheel?????

[benny_blanco]

Yep sure do!

had a momo wheel when i got it but removed it, horn was working for awhile then stopped working, pulled it apart and noticed that part was all flogged out

[Ghostrider]

Same as this?

[benny_blanco]

yep same wheel!.. but im pretty sure its the flogged out part in the steering collumn that is causing it not to work... its about 10-15mm diametre from memory is will take photo and post it up when I can

thanks

This is your horn contact on the steering column.

[benny_blanco]

If you could get some dimensions and a drawing that would be great

What you doing with the momo wheel Glenn

[benny_blanco]

was going to see if the boss kit fitted my pintara rice wagon...... if it doesnt fit will let you know if your interested

[Ghostrider]

It won't I promise you that.

What's the momo look like???

[Ghostrider]

And maybe the boos kit too if your going to get rid of them?

[benny_blanco]

O dang!

I will take some pics tomorrow and post them up.

Any luck measuring that part?

Still have to get off my bum and take my steering wheel off and take a photo to show you how flogged mine is

Found a Old Pic Crimmo Posted when he owned the DR30... Its the Momo wheel........ Though speaking to my sisters BF he reckons it should have momo eteched into the wheel, might just be a mome Centre cap on another wheel???

Forgotten how clean crimmo's/your car is inside!! Makes mine look bad!! Would still take the wheel either way Not that i don't mind the standard one, just i keep hitting my knee's on it and it annoys the crapper outta me

[Ghostrider]

took the wheel off just then to take pics of the part, but the bloody camera wont connect to this computer so will have to use my parents tomorrrow night.

basically all the metal on that end piece has worn away except for a tiny part left on one side.

Im after the length/dia of the outside, plus the bore dia + depth, also i think it may actually be aluminium... the part is the one you have pointed to that comes off the end that measures aprrox 8.5mm long
