Got a little cleanup to do before the motor can go back in -


A little surface rust but mostly just grease, oil, and dirt..

Pulled the old steering wheel off, and got the new one ready to go back on - I think these are all 1970 Camaro only parts -

Here is the wheel all ready to be installed -


And here's the tilt column, only one thing is missing..


At 10:00 on the hub, you can see a plastic sleeve that carries a spring-loaded contactor which brings voltage from the column, through the wheel, and to the pot metal horn bar in the top picture, which is isolated by the red rubber washers.

Before I can install the wheel, I need to find one of these contactors - does anyone know what it is called or where I can get one?
