Horn switch replacement

[Molecular--Bob]

Having just destroyed my second horn switch in 9 months, has anyone used a push type switch that fits the same hole? If you have what did you use and where did it come from?

Mine had a push button when I bought it, but I snapped the flasher and replaced it with a black starter button style from Caterham(cheaper elsewher I think).

The hole needed opening though.

I was thinking of replacing my std horn button (you have to push it square-on) with a black headed version of the red starter button.

 

I got my red starter button from RS Components for about £8.30 + VAT (free P&P), which is considerably cheaper than from CC = same part.

 

I'm sure RS do a black one - the hole is 22.5mm dia for the starter button, I'm not sure what the horn button mounting hole dia is. A colleague made a hole punch from a couple of bits of stainless, which worked a treat on the ali dash.
