Old SAABs had a wire loosely wound many turns around the steering wheel axle, working as a clock spring. 😃

Only works if you never turn the steering wheel left or right.
In todays cars they have a clock spring.
It would be easier to put a high beam light switch on the floor. them a clock spring in the steering wheel. LOL In a message dated 4/11/2025 4:25:50 PM Central Daylight Time, detomaso@server.detomasolist.com writes:
Asa, back in the '80s, a Swedish POCA member converted his Pantera to have a wheel-center horn also using the Ghia logo button. I did an illustrated Newsletter article on it. He did have to make some parts but it seemed quite do-able, as I remember. And no- I don't remember what issue but it was before year 2000.

I was approached by a Pantera owner today who would like their horn button to be in the center of the steering wheel -and- be functional. I don’t recall ever seeing such a thing done, but doesn’t mean it hasn’t been. Short of fabricating a slip ring kind of affair, I don’t see it being possible. What does the collective know? Has this been done and how?
