Good Afternoon
My journey of Fulvia ownership starts today. Having purchased the car just over a year ago in Germany, yesterday was the first day that I was able to drive it leagally on the roads here in Italy. It has been a long wait.
After retrieving my car from a Classic Car garage where it has been stored for the past 8 months, the first thing I wanted to do was to install a period correct and original steering wheel which I purchsed on Ebay. It replaces a much smaller after market Momo item.
My problem is, how does the horn function, am I missing some parts and what does the wire coming out of centre of the steering column connect to as there is no visible obvious connection point? When I took the Momo wheel off, the wire from the steering column was not connected to anything and was just tucked away.
I have studied an exploded view of a Series I steering column and can identify that I do not have items 21 (insulator), 6 (support for small spring) or 25 (small spring), if anyone can supply these, please let me know.
I would appreciate any feedback.

the wire connects (soldered) to #6 disk. It is a complicated system.... not only horn but headlamp flashing (there are 2 spring supported bit - the inner push button and the outer ring. I am sorry I do not have any parts (these should have been sold with the wheel....).

Thanks for your reply. By all accounts the seller had the steering wheel mounted on a block of wood as an ornament, so I will contact him to see if he has the missing components. The wheel did come with the 2 steel coloured items in the attached photo, unless these are items 21 & 6 in the exploded diagram, so in which case all I'm missing is the spring! However, if item 21 is described as an insulator, I woulkd have thought it would be made of rubber.
Thanks once again

Sorry but those are not #6 and #21
