Reassembly - CLUM Switch/Horn Button 

Long write up. 

I'm glad this is finished without any damage to these very rare parts.  There is a lot of info already on this site which helped make this a little easier.

Due to the length of this task and the number of pictures, I posted a link to the blow by blow description below:

Great explanation and pics Chet!  As you know, I did this last year and it is fairly easy if you take your time with it and follow the process as you laid out.

Good job Ted, My main concern was dropping one of the control tubes and busting off one of the arms.  So far so good.

Where did you get the ignition switch label? Just curious.

I am right at the point of doing what you just did and can't tell you how great it is to have your pictures and narrative available as a reference.  Doing this stuff blind is scary when you realize that replacement parts don't exist if you screw something up.  What a great resource!

I got the label from forum member Frankp in 2014.  I don't know where he got them from.  He probably had them made up.

Russ, That's why I encourage everyone to share there repair experiences.

BTW... If the horn wire doesn't come out easily you might have to pry the insulator up.  Make sure you get under the insulator's bottom metal ring.  Pry between the adjustment slide and the metal ring.  In my case I had to pry on both sides at the same time before it came free.

My Last Project Update for 2019

Happy New Year to All

Just tying up some loose ends for 2019.  It's been a very productive year.  Come January I hope to jump on the old milk crate and drive this car out of the garage on its own power.  Not road worthy yet but we will get there soon.  It looks like 2020 will be a year for esthetics.

I hope you all have many things to be thankful for:

It's been quite a while to recognize everyone's work.  Missed Christmas, but Happy New Year to all.

I had the Brake Fluid reservoir label made from an original and have for sale.

I had decals made for the Ignition plate, Spark knob and Choke knob.  Contact Bill at precision design https://www.pdc.ca/rr/custom_decals/
These are thin film and tricky to use.  You be the judge on how they look.
