Do you have the trim ring with your wheel? I have one and the horn works off it.

wow your cc is beautiful,i wish our interior would have been good,its alot of work to make it all.
i have new/old horns that still work,but the air canister doesnt pump up and hold air,so we bought an electric air horn,and will fit it the air compressor to the horns. before pic
