74' Super Beetle Grant horn fix

- If you are having trouble installing a Grant steering wheel with a horn button on a VW beetle, I figured out my problem. Either I am a moron, as it's very agreeable I am a noob working on my a 74' bug, but maybe this will help others like me.
On the piece that you are touching (the semi-circular copper or brass raised section) is actually an Earth (or negative). You seem to have a non-standard Steering Wheel. I say this, because my (same year) Beetle uses the actual Steering Wheel Brush Ring. This is highly-polished brass, and it's important that this is kept polished and dry. I mean free from greases or other contaminants.
When the real Steering Wheel is fitted, the Steering Wheel (Brush Ring for the Horn) correctly mates with the object that you are pointing at, and a 100% contact is made between the contact that you are pointing at - and the Steering Wheel Brush Ring. Place an Ohmeter between the raised contact being pointed at, and any Earth Point. I used the Interior Light button crosshead screw. It read as zero ohms, and I did this today. Finally, on the four-spoke plastic snap-fit centre, you should see a black wire (male connection). This short black wire is to provide an earth (from the Horn Brush Ring) - to the backside of the four-spoke centre snap -fit Cover - or Horn Push. Remember too, that the four springs which are on the back of the Plastic Horn-Push, must also CONDUCT. You may find, that your Beetle horn only works on either the left or right side. If this is the case, check for good conductivity of those four springs, particularly at the base of each spring. If your Horn works, but isn't quite right, then crawl under your Beetle. On the back of the horn, you should see a screw for adjustment. Have somebody press the horn, whilst you turn the screw. Greetings from Australia.
74 super beetle with grant wheel // bought bug and horn did not work / took off horn button and found the black wire/ did you find the correct horn hub or go with the one you ground?
H Shane. How did you ground the horn?; I saw that you connected the wire to the horn button, but how did you ground it?. Did you attach a nut or washer to the metal part of the button? Thanks
How do you get your turn signals to still click off?

But you will need to modify the hub to work with a 74' super beetle
You, bought the wrong, ring for your
V.W. Bug.
Actually your right but come to find out Grant steering wheels don't make a hub for the 74 SB. But Will over at Grant sent me a modified one and it works perfectly now. Just grind the nubs off on the hub adapter. Or go with another brand. I like the Grant pricing and style.

How do you get your turn signals to still click off?
The Grant Steering wheel installation hub kit comes with two small pins you place in the hub to serve as the turn signal canceler
