Steering Wheel installation Diagram

Post by dafstur »

I recently removed my steering wheel in order to replace the dash pad on my late 1962 Corvair Spyder. In replacing it I somehow assembled it improperly and the horn wont stop honking when I connect my battery. Does anyone have a diagram of the proper installation sequence? If so could you post it here, or email it to me at olenelo@att.net please.
Thanks ,
Olen

Sorry, no pictures
Insert the long end of the spring loaded plunger in the steering wheel
Install the curved metal disk. The center should be bowed upward ( toward you)
Next goes the plastic insulator with the 6 notches. The 3 small notches engage the 3 small tabs on the metal disk
The horn ring goes on next, followed by the plastic piece with the 3 holes
Install the 3 screws. Don't over tighten these, or you risk breaking the plastic piece

Nicely done, Chris! I looked in several manuals and didn't find a diagram; you did it with words. :tu:

DAFSTUR,
DIAGRAM IN 1961 SHOP MANUEL, SAME AS 62. 64 IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT IN A EM.
GOOD LUCK.

Yes, I saw that diagram when I was looking for the OP. I passed on posting because that's for a non-Monza (simple button) rather than the horn-ring type that's used in the Monza. Similar, but item 12 isn't found on horn-ring steering wheels. Substitute the horn ring unit for item 12 and that would do it.
