Horn Ring Contacts

[Jez Morton]

Hi,

just checking, but when I fitted the mountney boss using the centre push horn the contacts onto the sierra copper rings don't reach. I made a few measurements and can only see a few mil difference, I'm assuming their worn and a new contacts will rectify. Has anyone else had this problem and how long are the brushes when newish.

Yep we had that problem Heres how we sorted ours and it works fine now

I had the same problem, the steering wheel wasn't going far enough down the shaft to reach the contacts.

 

I looked at the hole in the wheel, it was not finished off too well so I filed it a bit so that it went down the tapered shaft a bit further. It now reaches the contacts fine.

Problem now fixed, new brushes sorted it, looks like the Mountney wheel is a few mm further away and the brushes had worn a few mm. £9 from Uncle Henry.
