ruckycharms Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I need one of these little black plastic fittings that goes inside my horn button assembly in order for my horn to attach properly. I'll take one or all three if you have em. I have been told that several other Datsuns use these also but I am not sure which. Anything you rats can do would be great! THANK YOUS Link to comment
RMS Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I had the same problem on my 68 510. I whittled one out of a chunk of teflon. cut my finger real good but my horn button no longer falls off. If I had to do it again i would use a dremel tool and sacrifice a cutting board 1 Link to comment
thisismatt Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 What about the rubber grommets? Do you have those? Link to comment
ruckycharms Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 The piece I am referring to is the black fitting under the Phillips screw pictured here. If those are the rubber grommets then yes, that's what I need. Link to comment
ruckycharms Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 The cutting board sounds like an interesting option if I don't find any here Link to comment
thisismatt Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 n/m. Mine has old rubber grommets behind the ring on each of those black standoffs. Something is weird with mine. After I fixed the relay the horn was going off randomly and I'm not sure why :P 1 Link to comment

After I fixed the relay the horn was going off randomly and I'm not sure why :P I don't use rubber, it give me a rash. And my horn goes off randomly too. I think the same thing happens to me in bed... Link to comment

Rocket Dog Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 I had the same problem years ago with a 521 I owned back in the 90's. I ended up installing small rubber grommets, the kind you'd see in a hole in the firewall to protect the wires from the steel edges, only very small diameter. http://www.cnrubberparts.com/images/products/2011610182217102w320h320uouken/cable-silicone-rubber-grommet.jpg Link to comment
