Yipee! I just got my steering wheel back from the powder coat shop yesterday! Today I finished restoring my new (used) horn/trafficator which I bought from David Beals in UK. There was nothing wrong with the hornpush, I just wanted to clean it up inside and add new lubricant, clean the contacts, etc. It was a bear getting it back together and at one point I lost a small but critical part (see arrow on second picture below). The spring poped and the small wheel went flying. It took me a couple of hours on my hands and knees in the garage to find it. This spawned an idea which I would like to share: The second time I attempted the re-assembly, I did so with all the parts inside a clear plastic dry cleaning bag. That way, if a spring went boing (which it did a few times), the parts affected would not leave the confines of the bag. Just something to stick away in the back of your mind for the next time you have to assemble something with lots of small parts and springs. It seemed to work pretty good.
Anyway, heres a picture of my newly restored wheel. The second picture is of all the parts of the hornpush/trafficator prior to reassembly:
