Non-Billet Specialties Adapter

hardware. On such applications the hardware must be changed to 8-32.

not supplied with some aftermarket columns, but is available as a replacement part from

using the supplied 8-32 x 1/4” Phillips screw. Install the spade connector on column horn
wire to center tab on the back of the horn button.
