My horn was not working due to the contact ring being worn through to the
plastic where the wheel is on center.
I had an old Corrado steering wheel that donated it's contact ring to the
Vanagon. I had to do some slight modification to make it work, and it only
took a few minutes and was easy.

Just in case you need to get inventive...

Subject: 1985 - Horn COntact ring on Steering WHeel

So in the midst of tearing everything apart to replace my front heater
blower (success!!!) I somehow got things a little wonky when I put the
steering wheel back on and that contact ring snagged on the little tab and
it tore the ring at the bottom. That's no good.

It there any way to replace that or am I kinda SOL?
