Dumb power stearing questions

Ok, I've looked at the pictures and studied the set ups. I have one question when changing to power steering. How do you hook the horn up to work? The original horn goes through the gear box so how does one hook the horn up through the couplers?


Ok that's two questions... :)

Not a stupid question, the answer is you don't. We use a remote mount horn switch on our conversions. Have mounted them at varoius locations on the dash.

Paul, has done what I think to be a nice job of retaining the stock horn button with power steering.

This was covered a bit on the PW forum - over the last few days. There are a few methods with Paul's and the postal Jeep column swap being the most common.

We've done it couple of times with column swaps & used the M715 Jeep truck set up as a pattern. Just about all our customers opt to go with the remote mount set up though. Eliminates problems ever occurring due to in the column issues, much cheaper to remote it also as it cuts way down on the time spent. We use a heavy duty waterproof switch with a large push knob that has a horn insignia. Paul's method is a nice way to go if you want to keep it on the wheel.
