I am looking for ideas/advice on how to wire a horn ground (or, if it is even possible) using a Lincoln 12 wheel -see photos- and a '35 Ford column with a solid shaft. The car is being fitted with a Vega box and solid steering shaft so, no running a wire through the shaft. I am not sure how the original wheel, horn ring worked-what contacted what because the wheel hub is solid behind the horn ring. I can see that the horn ring/button is designed to be insulated from the steering wheel hub but, how did it work without a horn pin insulated from ground to make the connection between the horn ring and horn ground wire? This car is also converted to 12 volts, using an AAW harness with a horn relay built into the fuse panel. The OE 6 volt horn will not be used but, retained for looks only. A modern 12 volt horn will be hidden somewhere. I am starting to think this is not possible and may be resigned to a horn button. I also need to source the rubber? insulator around the contact/retainer and a spring.

My advice would be to simply use a horn button mounted below the instrument panel on the steering column. This approach will save you a lot of grief.
