Careful! I got a new horn ring from one of our vendors sometime back and
discovered some very slight differences in the way it was made.
Difference so slight that I did not see it. When I put the steering wheel
assembly all back together it wouldn't really go back together. After a lot
of fiddling with it I found the plastic strip the copper ring sat on was
too thick by a fraction. I removed the copper ring and installed it on the
old plastic and everything went back together as it should.
