Anyone install a horn button?

My car came without a functional horn system. No wires in the
steering column. A dark hole beneath the broken horn button.
Horns work when touched with hot wire and ground. I have rewired from horn to steering column.

I have now acquired a horn button, a shiny circular piece
with a wire soldered to it, a 1" bushing of some kind and I
have a steel spring pin that I know goes vertical into a hole
in the column.

Has anyone ever installed these pieces? I can't quite get a
combination that will hold together and honk the horn.
The horn was the very first thing I noticed that DPO Pedro
lied to me about. NOT a blown fuse- no wires in column.

thanks
 
The cylindrical piece fits into the round hole under the horn button. The horn button pushes into position with the copper tab making contact with the cylindrical piece.
You need a jumper wire to make contact between the column pieces at the rubber donut.
The horns should then work.
