I bought a fat man steering wheel with a horn button in center similar to model A horn button. Can't get it to make contact (close the circuit on two wires coming out of it). No brand found. Any one have experience or knowledge of one like this. Will attempt to post picture later.

I have seen several. They vary from manufacturer to manufacturer in quality and methods used. Many fatman wheels have holes drilled in the "hub" from the manufacturer to run wires through to a "horn button center bolt" which could be purchased separately. One of the cars I used to have had one of those. Others had a made-to-fit centerpiece for a horn button. A fatman wheel I have hanging in the garage and have had for fifty years is set up that way, but I never did find the centerpiece for it. I have threatened to make one for it, but do not at this time have a car to put it on.
I have seen a few over the years that had the horn button on them, but never had one myself.

I have a Bauer tilt up wheel in my Tudor. It has the usual USA horn button on the side of the steering column. There is no room for the Canadian horn button mounted on the steering wheel nut. On my 25 roadster I have a Neville slide-up wheel. That does have the Canadian horn button on the wheel nut, and the same two wires to it as is standard on Canadian cars.

I have a Guardian Fatman steering wheel, locking, and horn. The horn works.
If you want more information let me know.
