Ford Model A Horn and Light Switch Rod Replacement | Steering Rebuild

Informative! Last year I needed to replace my horn rod on my Victoria. I got it from Snyder’s. When I went to install it, it wouldn’t slide down the tube! It was too large in diameter! I called the vender, they said it was the proper part, but the way the rod was made they said I needed to sand the whole length of the rod! They said it was normal to do this! I took emery cloth and sanded the rod until it slid down the column. Where did you get your horn rod?

I am doing the same thing on a 1932 BB truck. You just saved me a lot of time and frustration as I am sure the rod and spider and clip work the same. THANK YOU FOR SHARING.

Woohoo!

Approved!

Good video. Watching from Seguin Texas Thanks working on a 29 Pickup

The view of the horseshoe retainer clip for the horn rod was exactly what I needed to figure out how to get the steering wheel off of a '37 Ford, they use the same setup down at the steering box. Thanks for posting this, very helpful.

This sure came in handy as I needed to fit the clip to the spider gear of my '31 Coupe just today.
Thanks for posting.

Thank you for sharing, that will come in handy one day.

Followed your video today to replace my spider and everything went back together great. I also replaced the oil tube and gasket and the only discovery was the steering wheel rod would not come all the way out of my sport coupe as it made contact with the roof but that was enough clearance for me to get the oil tube back up into the steering box and then push the steering rod back through it. Thanks for your video!

Older video, very good explanation of installation on light switch and steering wheel, can tell you have patience, these parts don't always fit sometimes, a little extra work and everything turns out fine, great video,THANKS SUBSCRIBED

That was a reproduction spider part and not an original, so required some modification work !!!

This is fantastic, thank you!

Does the horn rod push against the lights switch to ground the horn wiring at switch or does it carry the circuit up the shaft to ground at steering wheel.

I have a 1930 Ford Model A. The horn is Spartan. It works when wired directly to the battery, but when installed in the model a is just barely hongnsd
Anyone have any ideas

How to get the c clip in It's kind of a no-brainer unfortunately that's about the only thing that video focused on. Let's move on to the light switch I'd like to see the video he makes when he hooks up the wiring harness What keeps that light switch rod from turning in 360° circles That's the problem that I have. They never hooked it up to any wiring so I didn't get anything out of it. Is it possible to direct me to a video that has that information?

To any new model a owner, this video is a must, especially if you're purchasing new parts,and you know they come from China,so you have to first see how everything everything fits together.Before you think you can assemble it to the car, watch this video.This is the best I think I have ever seen
