Horn electrical mechanism in steering wheel question. 120-130

the 68 220 mech really does not work this way. For starters the center of the steering wheel is a plastic rectangle and there is no push button contact thingy. I have had the s.w. you have pictured above but my present one is different. Specifically the black wire ends in a female spade connect which has to connect to "something". That something is the mystery. I took it all apart last fall and it all seemed clear to me then, I put all the bits in a bag, but I susupect I had one broken bit that I chose not to put in the bag. Since then I seem to have lost some brain cells, (banged my head at least twice on low ceillings in basement that's my guess!). Basically this might be really simple but I am not getting it. My mech has 4 machine screws aprox., 2cm long that have threads for only the 1st 0.5cm, the smooth part of the screw passes through the length of a cylindrical spring. The screw bottoms out in the steering wheel, the center section is held away from the s.w. by the pressure of the springs. I will need a K words to do this justice, I will find a pic somewhere. Thanks for the input.
