    Horn Button replacement

    I have this and wanted to replace my leather horn button in my Momo wheel.

    Upon taking the existing H Button out it has the usual flat bayonet for the wire and this H Button has this.

    What era is the H button from??

    I do NOT want to alter the original cable connector so is there an adaptor for this issue or should I just solder the 2 together (Don't really want to)

    Many thanks
    Mark

    Use a short wire with the female spade on one end and a bullet connector on the other; soldered of course. At least it looks like it will take a bullet from the photo angle.

    No but bullet connectors were used extensively during the 356 era.

    It's from.the 60s as by the seventies, it was replaced by the spade connector.
