Just to add that you may need to adjust the clearances to make it work OK. Sometimes I've made a slightly thicker gasket to allow it to work, but you may be able to carefully bend something internally. Some horns can be adjusted with a screw, others cannot, or are resined in and hard to get to. If the contact is only just making, a slight movement breaks it and you get lots of weak vibrations - high-pitched and feeble. It may take a bit of trial and error, but getting dead things working again is therapeutic and good for the planet! I've separated rivetted ones and used bolts or new rivets instead. Dave.
