Re: [T3] Steerng Column Replacement

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

If we're talking about Type 3s up to and including '71, the standard
horn button has a spring wire insert.  Push (slide) button towards
top of wheel and lift out bottom edge.
It sounds as if this may be 72 on, with a horn 'pad', which has four
plastic mouldings, one on each spoke, which are a press fit.  They
do just pull out with careful leverage, and usually go back again
OK.  It's been a while, but I think, unlike the horn button, they
have a wire attached to the horn pad.  (Might be confusing this with
the w/c VWs).
