As many of you may know, converting a TR3 to rack and pinion steering has one major flaw...that beautiful control head with the trafficator and horn becomes useless. There is one system out there that has a slip ring that retains the feature, but it negates the self-canceling feature of the trafficator.
Last week, I bit the bullet, and installed an MGA directional switch as posted here.
This week, I had to get the horn operating with my new wheel. The new wheel came with a horn button, so I figured there had to be some way to make it work.
Taking inspiration from alot of racing cars I see with a coiled retractable cable attaching the wheel to whatever the buttons on the wheel operate, I decided to go the same route.
A trip to Radio shack and I had a two conductor coiled wire. Since I only needed one wire, I just hooked both wires together. They are 18 gauge, but together they will be sufficent to operate the horn relay.
This was the last hurdle to a NY state inspection. Next week I'll register the car and start DRIVING...
